Synopsis
In mid-21st-century Barcelona, a city concerned with the well-being of its inhabitants and the harmony among them, the Personal Attitude Signature —a biometric representation of people's emotional disposition modeled after parameters like kindness, empathy, serenity, generosity, and gratitude— is implemented. Having basic limits for all these qualities established in the pursuit of a cordial human exchange, access to public life is restricted. Only those with adequate emotional levels are permitted to interact with the community. However, a group of insurgents intends to circumvent the system and free themselves from government control. They fight for their right to remain angry and keep their bad manners at will. But do they stand any chance of success in such a big brother society? Operation: Happy Capybara is underway.

About the author
Juan Antonio Rincon Legaz
Juan Antonio Rincon Legaz was born in Barcelona in the early seventies of the twentieth century. After being granted a university degree in computer science, he became a professional in the field of programming. And, before stablishing his residence in Andorra, in the year 2007, he spent some meditation time in the cities of Manchester, England, and Osaka, Japan. The philosophy of the man is summarized in his slogan "We could be better! And, if we were worse, we would complain the same way but with a better reason," which reflects his maverick nature.
