New novel : Elsa Malt, The Odyssey of Consciousness. April 2024
Second half of the 21st century. After a personal tragedy, a businesswoman tackles the greatest mystery of all time: death. Elsa Malt will deliver an exceptional anthropological breakthrough to mankind, but its impact will prove to be as unexpected as it is terrifying. Ultimately, the dilemma between survival and freedom will lead to heartbreaking choices, questioning ethics and power. Punctuated by profound complicities and improbable alliances, glories and tragedies, Elsa Malt's destiny intertwines with that of humanity.
Rich in twists and turns, this novel of anticipation takes the reader right to the heart of Elsa Malt's epic in a straightforward, almost journalistic way. It explores such themes as transhumanism, the impact of technology and its use, the greatness, turpitudes and hazards of great personalities, the multiple stakes involved in the survival of the human spirit, intergenerational links, the struggle for convictions and power.
This novel offers plenty of food for thought about our human societies and their future.
