Rose y Owen Benjamin llevan una vida tranquila y sin sobresaltos en el vertiginoso Nueva York de nuestros días. Para ambos, su matrimonio y su apartamento familiar en medio de la ciudad constituyen un remanso de paz, un refugio. Pero Rose, correctora de una editorial, oculta el anhelo de una pasión que ha estado ausente de su vida, y Owen, que en su juventud pareciera destinado a una vida más brillante, se ha recluido en un monótono aunque respetable trabajo en una escuela privada, y esconde también una obsesión inconfesable. Pero será su único hijo, Philip, quien hará estallar este apacible mundo de civilizados secretos, cuando decida airear públicamente su homosexualidad y enfrentar a sus padres con la realidad.

Translation is living through a period of revolutionary upheaval. The effects of digital technology and the internet on translation are continuous, widespread and profound. From automatic online translation services to the rise of crowdsourced translation and the proliferation of translation Apps for smartphones, the translation revolution is everywhere. The implications for human languages, cultures and society of this revolution are radical and far-reaching. In the Information Age that is the Translation Age, new ways of talking and thinking about translation which take full account of the dramatic changes in the digital sphere are urgently required. Michael Cronin examines the role of translation with regard to the debates around emerging digital technologies and analyses their social, cultural and political consequences, guiding readers through the beginnings of translation's engagement with technology, and through to the key issues that exist today. With links to many areas of study, Translation in the Digital Age is a vital read for students of modern languages, translation studies, cultural studies and applied linguistics.
