  • We could be heroes

    Creator

    Chen, Mike

    Abstract

    Jamie woke up in an empty apartment with no memory and only a few clues to his identity, but with the ability to read and erase other people's memories--a power he uses to hold up banks to buy coffee, cat food and books. Zoe is also searching for her past, and using her abilities of speed and strength...to deliver fast food. And she'll occasionally put on a cool suit and beat up bad guys, if she feels like it. When the archrivals meet in a memory-loss support group, they realize the only way to reveal their hidden pasts might be through each other.

  • Happycratie : le bonheur des autres ne fait pas le nôtre

    Babin, Alice

    Abstract

    2040. L'Europe, suite à des années de crises sanitaires, économiques et politiques, est devenue un vaste État fédéral plus écologique, plus sécurisant, plus sain. Une société idéale, selon la plupart des Euro-citoyens. Pourtant, « les Briseurs de rêves » luttent clandestinement contre ce qu'ils considèrent comme des injonctions au Bonheur et dénoncent le « puçage » : l'implantation sous-cutanée d'un dispositif mesurant le taux individuel de Bonheur (TIB) de chaque citoyen.
