Baltar Xinzo is the pen name of an Argentinian-Canadian who has embraced the freedom of writing fiction as a therapeutic experience, producing refreshing, challenging, and uprising stories. Xinzo speculative fiction has a dark tone, which is typical of science fiction noir; however, new for this subgenre, Xinzo's stories transmit a sense of hope and optimism for the most part. Furthermore, it is fair to say that Xinzo dives deep into existentialist issues in the backdrop of genres such as cyberpunk, hard science fiction, transhumanism, and transrealism.
