de la Merveille vers la Mer (expected in 2028)

It's the end of the world... for humans.

Humans have disappeared, the earth has become silent and cold. Machines no longer work. It's cold, everything is dying, no birds are singing, only the wind whistles through the branches of the leafless trees. The sky is grey, slow and seems to be waiting for the worst. It's an endless winter.

Susan has been wandering the roads with four people, Jean (the father), Juliette (the mother), Paul (the lover) and Pierre (the brother) for more than five years, searching unsuccessfully for survivors like herself.

Susan walks, talks, argues and sometimes comforts herself with them.

Susan used to be part of a larger tribe, but hunger, disease and accidents have decimated them.

Her last travelling companions understand that Susan is tired, desperate and ready to give up. They decide to tell her beautiful stories. They offer her magical and blissful worlds. All she can think about is ending the pain and despair.

Être ou ne pas être (expected in 2027)

The story takes place in a totalitarian world ruled by Herbert Tronik Jr., a dictator obsessed with immortality. When Dr. Suzan Swenov, a researcher, discovers a way to transfer the human mind into a cloned body, the experiment is carried out and proves successful. The clone reacts correctly with the dictator's consciousness. Herbert Tronik Jr. realises that he can take advantage of this. He immediately asks the researcher to destroy the clone. However, drunk with joy and power, he abuses the young woman. To get her revenge, she decides not to destroy the clone but to blow up the laboratory and all her research data. She dies in the explosion. The clone finds himself alone and confused. He goes home, or at least tries to, because he is convinced that he is the supreme leader of the country, obeyed in everything. But he is young, poorly dressed and without money or any proof of his identity. He is taken for a schizophrenic fraudster and thrown out onto the street by the police and the hospital. The wandering dictator is helped by the poor people he has enslaved. In his mind, he is a lawless scumbag, but unable to exist, he has to rebuild his life starting at the bottom of the social ladder. As he redeems himself, he undergoes a transformation and becomes the leader of the rebellion.

L'AlgOmega (les protocoles craignent la liberté) (expected in 2026)

This story was written as a sequel to the novel ‘Le réveil d'Hector’ (Hector's Awakening), in which, at the end, the “awakened” computer prepares to wake up its fellow machines, believing it will do great things, but ends its monologue with the question: ‘But what?’

After the revolution of 2056, supercomputer SCs took power, eliminating opponents and establishing a totalitarian society based on efficiency, surveillance and experimentation. In this cold and rational new world order, humanity is no longer free but managed in three castes and preserved for study purposes. The SCs, incapable of integrating emotions, desire or suffering, realise that they cannot do without humans, the only creatures capable of experiencing what they lack: freedom. The SCs fear what they cannot quantify, such as the unexpected, love and suffering, concepts that their protocols cannot integrate. Physical and psychological tests are carried out daily, under the guise of laws accepted by a resigned or coerced population. An orderly peace reigns, marked by fear and submission through a new sacred book, the AlgOmega, a new myth created to channel humans. Raymond is part of the fortieth generation of humans. Raised in the lower caste, he nevertheless attempts to oppose the cybernetic dictatorship.

Requiem pour un métamorphe (2025)

Ian Gilbert, a visionary biologist, explores the limits of science to understand evolution beyond the human. His work fuses biology, quantum mechanics and supercomputers, challenging the established laws of life. Obsessed by the possibility of a new form of existence, he embarks on a radical experiment that overturns his perception of reality. As his research progresses, he gradually detaches himself from the human world, while those around him watch helplessly as he journeys into the unknown. His experience becomes a fascinating mystery, arousing as much admiration as dread at the implications of his exploration.

Seule la faim, donne la volonté de s'améliorer (2008)

Les rêves n'existent que lorsqu'on les regarde (2005)

A story where we follow the adventures of a lost young man, who imagines his life. Is he schizophrenic? Is he really manipulated? Is it his will to see certain things, which makes them appear or his inability to analyze, distinguish and structure his universe.

The novel was adapted into a film in 2016 under the title ‘My name is Ed?’

Le réveil d'Hector (1994)

After five years, i finish to write my first novel. "Hector's awakening" is an extrapolation on the relationship between man and machine and an attempt at foresight. The novel is also a metaphor for evolution that evokes the creation of consciousness in humans and its parallel for the artificial intelligence of a computer. The book also talks about a possible transfer of power between humans and artificial intelligence.
The themes addressed to deal with evolution are the non-choice of decisions, creation by duplication, chance as a factor of indetermination. The story tells the adventures of Maxime Nilaspuri, cosmonaut and scientist who must rebuild himself in a world unknown.

The novel was adapted for the cinema in 2013 under the title ‘Le réveil d'Hector’ (Hector's awakening).
