Orlando Luis Pardo Lazo

[3] In 2010, Lazo founded the independent opinion and literary e-zine Voces, which is Cuba's first digital magazine.

[3] However, there were an additional 100 others identifying themselves as "independent" bloggers, including Lazo, openly expressing criticisms of the Castro regime.

[2] The magazine is produced in PDF format and copies circulate in Cuba on CDs, flash drives, the domestic network known as the "intranet" and through photocopied paper editions.

[2] Lazo also produces the blog, Boring Home Utopics, which describes itself as "the Collective Memories from a Unique Man in the Brave New Zoociety".
