«Jugadores del juego de la gente» is the science fiction novel by John Brunner, published by Martínez Roca in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Godwin Harpinshield belongs to a privileged group that has everything: unlimited luxuries and whims, though without knowing quite why. In return, he receives «calls» in which he carries out actions he later does not remember. Gradually he discovers he is a pawn in the mysterious game of the people, a match whose players and rules remain hidden.
Original English 1980, Players at the Game of People; this Spanish edition is from 1987, in the Super Ficción collection (2nd series, no. 105), translated by Rafael Marín Trechera.
For readers of classic science fiction and followers of John Brunner, interested in dystopias, conspiracies and social control.
