"Le très grand nettoyage" written in 2010. In 2025, the earth is overrun with waste. It frequently rains plastics of all kinds. From tiny pieces to others, several square centimeters. They cover the arable land of north-eastern Europe. The pressure on food resources is increasing. The North Pole is about to be open to commercial shipping. The last piece of ice is melting. Ecology is no longer relevant. The political party "Living with" is acclaimed by the city dwellers of London. In the big cities, almost the entire population is hooked on the drug of the dream.

The humanity faced with the anticipated end of their star will have to react to survive. The sun, about to turn into a red giant, will trigger a journey or rather a questioning among these humans of distant times. What answer will they find to save themselves from the flames of hell?"L'aube des seigneurs" written in 2017. The main subject of this novel deals with the possible changes in our social system, specifically the capitalist system in which we live, in the face of the implementation of artificial intelligence and the advent of humanoid robots. I have tried to portray, in this story, possible visions of what might happen, creating contradictory, even antagonistic, and other hybrid models. In this book, robots do not dream, but rather are extensions of human consciousness or ambition. We can speak of science fiction, although the stop on the image is, I admit, remarkably close to reality and could also be considered a contemporary "Epic" or even just a fiction. There is a lot of humanity in this story, love, hatred, and travel. The story takes place on several continents and far beyond.
