Pérez-Reverte publishes a new book and bets on video games: "The novel and paper are sentenced to death"

On October 20, author Arturo Pérez-Reverte released his latest novel, 'La hipótesis más peligrosa' (Alfaguara). The book is described as a Mediterranean-based coming-of-age story centered on a young man's search for his father, while also exploring themes of history, memory, myths, and conflict within the region.

In conjunction with the launch, Pérez-Reverte has offered commentary on both the geopolitical state of the Mediterranean and the future of literature. He characterized the Mediterranean as a source of instability for Europe and expressed a critical view regarding the long-term viability of traditional print media, suggesting that novels and physical books face an uncertain future in an era increasingly defined by video games.
