A quick companion presents, for the first time in Spanish, the writings of Víctor Muñoz Sanz on the new spaces created around and made possible by automation technologies. It is a journey that takes us to late 19th-century shoe factories, innovative logistics ports and greenhouses where we find no trace of human workers, and muddy terrain where Friesian cows, the product of genetic selection, coexist with state-of-the-art robots.

Far from being complacent, this essay, poised between keen observation and suggestive speculation, is neither blinded by the allure of the latest technologies nor captivated by never-before-seen space products. His work helps us understand the space-related advances that, day after day, transform all kinds of work environments behind the opaque walls of corporate secrecy, and, at the same time, how technology, science, and architecture shape, day after day, human and non-human bodies.
