« Aldous Huxley with his Best of Worlds and George Orwell with his 1984 had vaccinated us, it was thought, against the mirages of unbearable happiness. No, we would no longer allow a world to develop that would manipulate humans and make it docile, through propaganda and directed amnesia... But it was not anticipated that, if the revolutionary political horizon (brown, black or red) was fortunately no longer attractive to anyone, science and technology could take over and announce happiness for tomorrow, or even the succession by any posthuman. `Jean-Michel Besnier` »
