Techno-Thriller

Hanks Alltag ist der reinste Horror. In seiner Fantasie schlägt sich der Romanheft-Autor Woche für Woche mit Monstern aller Art herum. Als Ausgleich schreibt er nebenbei Liebesschnulzen. Vom wahren Leben weiß der liebenswerte Muskelprotz nicht viel. Das ändert sich schlagartig, als einem Spaziergänger im Nachbarort der Kopf von einer Riesenpflanze abgebissen wird. Während die Polizei den Fall herunter spielt, wittert Hank Stoff für einen neuen Roman. Er wagt sich aus seinem Luxusappartement und findet sich kurz darauf zwischen explodierenden Trucks und tödlichen Pollen wieder. Mutanten mit Energiewaffen machen Jagd auf ihn, doch gefangen wird er von den langen Beinen einer wunderschönen Frau. Fast zu spät merkt Hank, dass eine finstere Macht hinter den Ereignissen steckt und sein persönliches Schicksal die Zukunft der Welt bestimmen soll...

Adepte de la philosophie morale, et en particulier de l'utilitarisme, l'auteur met en scène sous la forme d'un thriller technologique haletant la question de l'application dans le monde réel de cette morale areligieuse dont le principe fondamental est de rechercher le plus grand bien pour le plus grand nombre.On suivra dans ce roman les péripéties d'une technicienne de la police scientifique française traquant l'Ogre, un tueur en série qui s'en prend à des enfants, celles d'un développeur californien en intelligence artificielle projetant de réaliser un programme qui pourrait moraliser l'économie mondiale en influençant les algorithmes des logiciels financiers, et celles d'une chercheuse en neuroscience de Pittsburgh développant des implants d'interface cerveau-machine.Une fausse manipulation aux conséquences incalculables va réunir leurs trois destins, mais le temps leur est compté pour tenter d'enrayer la catastrophe.
