EL LIBRO DE LOS ROSTROS

“I had been thinking about it for a while. Maybe, trough Facebook it was easier for me to relate to other people. What if I became someone else, with a fake name? It would be like starting from scratch — at least on the Internet. At the time I reckoned it was a brilliant idea, but now I think about what I did and see it like it really was: absolute stupidity.”

Being someone else on the Internet looks like a game. So, if you don’t like who you are, why not make up a character? Why not make up the person you really want to be? It’s easy, funny, with no consequences. But the Internet is not too different from real life: the fingers that press the keys are human fingers, attached to real people — people with faces, people with lives that can get entangled with yours, for good … or for evil.
