Mauricio Guadamuz

Mauricio J. Guadamuz González, MD, MSc, MBA, is a Costa Rican physician, executive, and hard science fiction author whose unusual combination of training shapes a body of work where medicine, technology, and speculative thought converge.

A general practitioner with thirty years of clinical experience, Mauricio holds a medical degree from UCIMED, a Master's in Marketing and Sales from Universidad de Costa Rica, an MBA from IPADE Business School in Mexico, a Master's in Medical Device Engineering from TEC Costa Rica, and a Senior Management Program (PAG) from INCAE Business School. His career has spanned both clinical practice and senior commercial roles in global pharmaceutical companies—GSK, Sanofi, Abbott, and Pfizer—where he worked in Key Account Management and Country Manager positions across Latin America.

He currently serves as Strategy Manager for the Health division of Accenture's Global Network, advising life sciences organizations on the integration of artificial intelligence into clinical and commercial operations.

His debut novel, WORLD OF QUANTUM DREAMS: THE COST OF COHERENCE, is the first volume of an ongoing hard science fiction saga grounded in real neuroscience, quantum theory, and pharmacology. The novel follows Dr. Leo Martín, a sleep medicine specialist who discovers a shared territory of consciousness accessible only through deep sleep—and the irreversible cost of entering it. Mauricio's medical and engineering background informs every layer of the narrative: the neural mechanisms, the pharmacological consequences, the architecture of the Tetracon. The science is not decoration; it is the engine of the story.

The saga is being published simultaneously in four languages—English, Spanish, French, and German—across Amazon's international stores. Book Two, LOS QUE MIRAN DE VUELTA, is scheduled for release on September 26.

Mauricio's writing engages with questions that span his entire formation: the limits of clinical certainty, the unstable boundary between consciousness and its substrate, the cost of mapping what was never meant to be mapped. For readers of Peter Watts, Greg Egan, Stanisław Lem, and Ted Chiang who want their fiction to take both science and consciousness seriously.

He lives in Costa Rica with his wife Lorena.
