About this title

Synopsis

“A darkly entertaining and disturbingly prescient novel.”—A.L. Kennedy

“A brilliant disembodied satire obviously written by Karl Marx hallucinating on absinthe.”—Deborah Levy

In a mine in Liberia, a geologist discovers fragments of a software manual. ScriptGenerator©®™ is an innovation so powerful that creatives in all the major cities of the world will become redundant. Who are the people behind this software, and how can their diabolical strategy of cultural domination be thwarted? Philippe Vasset has written a first novel that announces simultaneously the death of literary creation and the birth of a brilliant author.

Philippe Vasset lives in Paris. Before becoming a journalist, he was a corporate detective in the United States.
