A novel by the Argentine writer Samanta Schweblin, published in 2018. Kentukis are stuffed toys on wheels, with cameras for eyes, that have sold all over the world: whoever buys one keeps it at home, and whoever connects to it steers it remotely and watches a stranger's life. The book follows characters in several countries whose lives are crossed by these devices.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
