Bestiario ciberpunk: sobre el imbunche y otros monstruos en Ygdrasil de Jorge Baradit

the following paper analyzes the representation of the imbunche, as well as other fragmented or symbiotic beings that are present in the novel ygdrasil (2005) by jorge baradit, as a manner of imagining subjectivities. one of the most important characters of this novel is the religious and syndical leader of a global megacorporation named "el imbunche", from which we can find readings to look for characteristics of monstrosity in the rest of the characters of the novel. this analysis will allow us to conclude that this figure portrays, once more, baradit's productivity, since he uses this strategy to represent the enslaved subject in late capitalism, especially the one that, connected to computer networks, is exposed to the colonization of the body regarding informatics and biotechnology.
