The U-Feeling Experience

A new international corporation called U-Feeling has arrived in the capital, commercialising the ultimate commodity: body swapping. The corporation claims it can dissolve every social divide by allowing people to experience life from inside another body—bringing humanity closer to universal peace, that old Kantian dream, now finally within reach. The war between the sexes? Over. Class conflict? Finished. Xenophobia? Obsolete.

But when identity becomes interchangeable, where does the self end—and what remains when you return?

The U-Feeling Experience is a provocative work of speculative fiction that challenges our assumptions about identity, empathy, and human nature. Rosa Montero calls it "a taut futuristic tale that is at once disturbingly realistic, infused with a psychological unease reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe."

José Ángel Mañas is a prominent Spanish novelist born in Madrid in 1971. He rose to fame with his cult debut Historias del Kronen (1994) and has won multiple literary awards. Known for his stark, provocative narratives, Mañas explores identity and human nature in The U-Feeling Experience series.
