In this collection of short stories, Cyril Amourette explores the hidden faces of our civilization, our wanderings, our mistakes and our improbable answers to this world on the brink. We discover a castaway on Earth, sleepless nights, victorious trees, a kidnapped android child, a riotous shopping mall, the mitochondrial Eve, mutant animals, Margaret Thatcher on LSD and the day Ballard died.
All along, the author talks to us about ourselves and a shadow we don't necessarily want to see.
An anticipation on the borders of Ballard and Black Mirror.
