Puesto que Soon I Will Be Invincible (Muy pronto ser? invencible) es una de las novelas m?s divertidas que he le?do en los ?ltimos a?os, hace tiempo que vengo esperando una nueva obra de Austin Grossman (hermano gemelo de Lev Grossman, el autor de The Magicians - Los magos, por cierto). Pues bien, ya tenemos fecha de publicaci?n para You: desde el 26 de marzo de 2013 se podr? adquirir esta novela de Austin Grossman, una historia protagonizada por un desarrollador de videojuegos y que promete ser de lo m?s interesante. Esta es la descripci?n del libro (en ingl?s):

A NOVEL OF MYSTERY, VIDEOGAMES, AND THE PEOPLE WHO CREATE THEM, BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SOON I WILL BE INVINCIBLE.

When Russell joins Black Arts games, brainchild of two visionary designers who were once his closest friends, he reunites with an eccentric crew of nerds hacking the frontiers of both technology and entertainment. In part, he's finally given up chasing the conventional path that has always seemed just out of reach. But mostly, he needs to know what happened to Simon, the strangest and most gifted friend he ever lost, who died under mysterious circumstances soon after Black Arts' breakout hit.

Then Black Arts' revolutionary next-gen game is threatened by a mysterious software glitch, and Russell finds himself in a race to save his job, Black Arts' legacy, and the people he has grown to care about. The bug is the first clue in a mystery leading back twenty years, through real and virtual worlds, corporate boardrooms and high school computer camp, to a secret that changed a friendship and the history of gaming. The deeper Russell digs, the more dangerous the glitch appears--and soon, Russell comes to realize there's much more is at stake than just one software company's bottom line.

Austin Grossman's debut novel Soon I Will Invincible announced the arrival of a singular, genre-defying talent "sure to please fans of Lethem and Chabon" (Playboy). With YOU, Grossman offers his most daring and most personal novel yet-a thrilling, hilarious, authentic portrait of the world of professional game makers; and the story of how learning to play can save your life.
