Henri Duboc, doctor researcher, summarizes his initial idea with this question: " Is 
Google God ? God, you send him billions of prayers, he does not answer to any of them. 
Google, ask him a request, you will have millions of answers " . ---- Going beyond this 
simple question, Henri Duboc gives us a novel of anticipation (but not that ...) that puts 
into perspective the future of the planet and of humanity as a whole. He also " wanted to 
take the reader into new worlds, confronting religion and science, religion and modernity, 
imagining worlds where science itself has become a fanatical religion, or mad ecologists 
of Mother Nature are upholding their law ... » . ---- Paris 2053. In a pacified future, 
damaged by global warming and morbidly dependent on the Internet, Gabriel manages 
Mémoriam, a universal on-line cemetery. A legendary hacker makes contact with him to 
prevent humanity from pouring into obscurantism. Around them, Vérinas crosses, a 
charismatic bishop who dreams of himself as a guru of the new religion, a popess with four 
children, Yosa, a gifted scientist, Hattam a mad scientist ...

Adventures and reflections
In Volume II, the announced cataclysm took place. The world is devastated, spared Europe 
is the ultimate refuge and must watch its borders: millions of survivors from other 
continents find themselves in camps at the mercy of all the fanatics and try to reach the 
Europe that has erected around it a barrier of drones, which is extremely deterrent. 
Internet is dying ...

Volume III begins in 2072, fourteen years after the disaster. The hour of the ultimate 
fight has arrived: the guru Vérinas, at the head of his fanatical group of refugees, is 
about to overthrow the young successor of the Popess and to take power over what remains 
of the planet. Without Internet, the resistance seems complicated. Meanwhile in 2283 (!), 
A mysterious robot with two heads tries to bend the course of the past (!) ...

This ambitious and original trilogy mixes adventures and reflections on our present. 
Anticipation, suspense, action, philosophical questioning, humor, love ... nothing is 
missing from this hectic and daring fresco.
