Amor Cibernético

Miguel Rios's song 'Amor Cibernético' delves into the complexities and ironies of seeking love in the digital era. The lyrics narrate the story of a person who uses a cybernetic agency that promises to find the ideal partner, ensuring a 100% compatibility with one's other half. This service involves the use of advanced technology, including a microcomputer and a robotic agent specialized in love, highlighting the mechanization of personal relationships and the commodification of love.

The protagonist programs the woman of his dreams into the computer, envisioning her as the 'goddess of electric love'. However, the reality clashes with his digital fantasy when the woman, despite being a perfect match in the digital realm, turns out to have her own preferences and ideologies, such as radical environmentalism, which leads her to reject the protagonist and the very technology that brought them together. This twist in the narrative underscores the limitations of technology in replicating human emotions and connections.

Through 'Amor Cibernético', Miguel Rios critiques the reliance on technology for personal relationships and the potential disconnect between our online personas and real-life identities. The song serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of reducing human interactions to data and algorithms, suggesting that true compatibility requires more than just matching frequencies on a computer screen.
