THE STATUS QUO IS JUST A PASSING PHASE! Sunny and his kinfolk were content with their way of life. During the dry season, their clan lived alone. They hunted whenever they chose, gathered an array of plants, told stories, and took part in debates. In the rainy season, they united with the rest of their tribe. They formed a temporary city, feasted, held dances and played games. They could have lived like this forever. But a strange and foreign people had ideas of their own...

THE STATUS QUO IS JUST A PASSING PHASE! Sunny and his kinfolk were content with their way of life. During the dry season, their clan lived alone. They hunted whenever they chose, gathered an array of plants, told stories, and took part in debates. In the rainy season, they united with the rest of their tribe. They formed a temporary city, feasted, held dances and played games. They could have lived like this forever. But a strange and foreign people had ideas of their own... Appearing out of nowhere, these aliens looked completely different. They smelled different. They even dressed differently. And they had the most peculiar habits.These people did not live with the earth. They exploited the earth, imposing monocultures and intensive farming. They were not content with their lot. They were possessed by an insatiable desire to consume. And they had no sense of freedom. They were beholden to a never-ending list of outlandish concepts; things such as "Hierarchy", "Patriarchy", "Monarchy", "Monogamy", "God", "Punishments", "Ownership", "Inequality", "Money", "Work" and "Tax". Sunny and his kinfolk faced the toughest decision in their history... They could wage war on these imposters. But their enemies were strong. They had killed hundreds-of-thousands of indigenous people. They could flee. But these imperialists would surely follow. They would push them into the sea, the mountains or the desert. Their clan needed another solution. But what could it be? Could they negotiate with this violent foe? Could they form a pact? Could they create a kind of alliance? Sunny had no idea. But he was compelled by a duty to find out. This was his time. And he was willing to risk his life, to save the people he loved... THIS IS NOT THE END OF HISTORY. OTHER WORLDS WERE POSSIBLE...
Autorenporträt
Joss Sheldon est un nomade délabré, un libre-penseur déchaîné et un radical post-moderniste. Né en 1982, il a vécu dans une banlieue anonyme autour du c¿ur de Londres. Il a pris la fuite par la suite! Diplômé en économie de la London School of Economics, Sheldon a vendu des falafels lors de festivals de musique, étant un skieur, et n'ayant pas réussi à faire des Midlands anglais un havre de la ligue de rugby. En 2013, il s'enfuit à McLeod Ganj, un village indien qui abrite des milliers de singes enragés, des centaines de réfugiés tibétains et le Dalaï Lama lui-même. C'est là que Sheldon a écrit son premier roman, 'Involution & Evolution'. Avec plusieurs critiques positives à son compte, Sheldon avait attrapé le virus de l'écriture. Il a séjourné en Palestine et au Kurdistan, où il a fait des recherches sur son deuxième roman, 'Occupied', un chef-d'¿uvre dystopique comme vous n'en avez jamais lu. Mais ce fut avec son troisième roman, 'The Little Voice' , qui lui valut un succès retentissant, en tête des palmarès des deux côtés de l'Atlantique et d'être acclamé par la critique. En 2017, il est revenu avec 'Money Power Love', une histoire d'amour qui retrace l'ascension de l'Empire britannique et la capacité des banquiers, qui avaient le pouvoir de créer de l'argent à partir de rien, ont pu façonner le monde contemporain. Désormais, Sheldon est de retour avec son meilleur roman à son actif, 'INDIVIDUTOPIA'. Les fans de 1984 vont adorer ce classique dystopique, qui se joue dans un monde où les entreprises ont détruit la société et où personne ne parle à quiconque. C'est une histoire humaine, pleine d'espoir, et une aventure, dans laquelle notre héroïne fait tout ce qui est en son pouvoir pour s'échapper...
