This is a novel I’m going to run for the next 4 years, when I have the time, when I’ll find the inspiration to write about the singular mess that is the World right now with the USA leading the direction to Hell. The first iteration of this essay is here “When democracy fades, the silence speaks.” The Last Orders They came at midnight. DOGE was swift. The Department of Government Efficiency.

Nous voilà à la croisée des chemins, perdus entre deux gouffres béants. D’un côté, l’intelligence artificielle, cette bête froide et sans visage, s’infiltre partout, avale nos métiers, façonne nos vies, écrit nos histoires à notre place, sans jamais nous demander notre avis. De l’autre, nos démocraties fatiguées, vieillies avant l’âge, brinquebalantes sous le poids de bureaucrates aveugles, de dirigeants somnolents qui, dans leur grand bal d’ignorance, détruisent des choses qu’ils ne comprennent même pas.

Modern societies stand at a crossroads, facing not one, but two existential threats. On one side, the unchecked rise of artificial intelligence seeps into every aspect of life, shaping economies, governance, and human interactions without ethical foresight or restraint.

Ce court essai de fiction décrit la transformation étrange et troublante de l’Amérique en une autocratie contrôlée, efficace et silencieuse, où l’absence de guerre civile ouverte n’est pas la paix, mais la soumission. “La guerre n’a jamais eu lieu. La résistance n’a jamais gagné. La République est restée - silencieuse, obéissante et effacée”. La dernière élection La nuit était calme quand c’est arrivé. Les chaînes de télévision continuaient à diffuser leurs programmes, à prétendre qu’il y avait quelque chose à compter. Continue reading →

This is a short fiction novel that captures the eerie, unsettling transformation of America into a controlled, efficient, and silent autocracy—where the absence of open war is not peace, but submission. Tagline: “The war never came. The resistance never won. The Republic remained—silent, obedient, and erased.” The Last Election The night was quiet when it happened. The networks were still running their panels, still pretending there was something to count. The numbers had come in hours before. Continue reading →
