Alain Damasio on Nature, Activism and Technology – We are Europe Meets #6

Committed writer, Alain Damasio became one of France’s most recognised science fiction authors. Convinced that sci-fi can portray – and change – the world, his book “La Horde du contrevent” published in 2004 is met with popular and critical acclaim.

Through his highly political and thought-provoking writing, Damasio questions the place of mankind in a technology-driven world. His last book “Les Furtifs” (The Stealth) published in 2019 by La Volte depicts a world in which controlling technologies are ubiquitous and where cities are privatised by big corporations. It is a fierce and poetic critique of liberalism and societies of control.
