[French] - Silo. Tome 1 - partie 2 Audiobook

Dans un futur postapocalyptique indéterminé, une communauté d’hommes et de femmes a organisé sa survie dans un silo souterrain géant. Du monde extérieur, devenu hostile, personne ne sait rien, sinon que l’atmosphère y est désormais irrespirable. Les images de mauvaise qualité relayées par d’antiques caméras, montrant un paysage de ruines et de dévastation balayé de vents violents et de noirs nuages, ne semblent laisser aucune place à l’illusion. Pourtant, certains continuent d’espérer. Ces individus, dont l’optimisme pourrait s’avérer contagieux, représentent un danger potentiel. Leur punition est simple. Ils se voient accorder cela même à quoi ils aspirent : sortir. Dans une nouvelle qu’il met en ligne en 2011, Hugh Howey décrit une société où l’on ne percevrait plus le monde extérieur que par le biais d’un écran. Peu après, devant le nombre de messages de lecteurs lui réclamant une suite, il imagine quatre nouveaux épisodes – donnant naissance à 'Silo', devenu depuis un best-seller international. Conjuguant un art consommé du récit et un infaillible sens du suspense, Hugh Howey a peut-être offert à la science-fiction son dernier classique en date.

Beacon 23

For centuries, men and women have manned lighthouses to ensure the safe passage of ships. It is a lonely job and a thankless one for the most part. Until something goes wrong. Until a ship is in distress. In the twenty-third century, this job has moved into outer space. A network of beacons allows ships to travel across the Milky Way at many times the speed of light. These beacons are built to be robust. They never break down. They never fail. At least, they aren’t supposed to.

Burn the Ashes

We burn them to ashes and then burn the ashes. In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, that's the motto of the Firemen who hunted down and burned books wherever they found them. Bradbury warned of a world where our literary history is taken from us. In Burn the Ashes, some of the best science fiction authors working today continue to explore the dystopic worlds they introduced in Ignorance Is Strength. Edited by John Joseph Adams, Hugh Howey, and Christie Yant, the Dystopia Triptych is a series of three anthologies of dystopian fiction. Ignorance Is Strength-before the dystopia-focuses on society during its descent into absurdity and madness. Burn the Ashes-during the dystopia-turns its attention to life during the strangest, most dire times. Or Else the Light-after the dystopia-concludes the saga with each author sharing their own vision of how we as a society might crawl back from the precipice of despair. Burn the Ashes features all-new, never-before-published works by the following authors, in order of appearance: Carrie Vaughn, Tim Pratt, Rich Larson, Cadwell Turnbull, Karin Lowachee, Adam-Troy Castro, Caroline M. Yoachim, Hugh Howey, An Owomoyela, Seanan McGuire, Dominica Phetteplace, Alex Irvine, Tobias S. Buckell, Scott Sigler, Darcie Little Badger, Violet Allen, and Merc Fenn Wolfmoor.

Une colonie

Un groupe de cinq cents personnes a été envoyé dans l’espace pour coloniser une autre planète. Dans un état de semi-conscience, elles suivent une éducation qui leur est dispensée par une intelligence artificielle. À trente ans, elles seront parfaitement formées pour appréhender leur nouveau monde. Mais après quinze ans seulement, une explosion à bord du vaisseau tue la majorité d’entre elles et détruit la plus grande partie de leurs vivres. Pire, les soixante jeunes rescapés qui se réveillent ne possèdent encore que les connaissances les moins utiles à leur survie. Nus, terrifiés, les adolescents tentent d’utiliser l’IA pour mettre sur pied leur colonie, mais les luttes de domination font bientôt leur apparition, et ils découvrent que leur pire ennemi n’est ni l’environnement hostile, ni l’IA, mais que ce sont leurs pairs.

Ignorance Is Strength

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. George Orwell once wrote of a world where abuse of power begins with an abuse of language and a bastardization of truth.

The Dystopia Triptych is a series of three anthologies of dystopian fiction. Ignorance Is Strength-before the dystopia-focuses on society during its descent into absurdity and madness. Burn the Ashes-during the dystopia-turns its attention to life during the strangest, most dire times.
