January 2019. This science fiction graphic novel (pictured in its 2020 English edition) by Swiss cartoonist Zep (Philippe Chappuis) is such a tiresome agglomeration of grim sci-fi clichés that it's scarcely worth summarizing (it would have seemed hackneyed in 1979, much less 2019). However, the art, by Dominique Bertail from Zep's layouts, with some color work by Gaétan Georges, is exceptionally beautiful throughout. One to look at rather than read, then.

Ask bomb
Are there any specific technologies or concepts from sci-fi books that you wish existed in the real world?
Do you consider yourself to be a picky eater?
You are given a choice to live in one of the fictional worlds where your games are set in. Which one would you choose and why?
If you were given a budget of 5000$ to upgrade your current house of tech setup, how would you spend it?
What's the most unusual item on your bedside table?
Have you read any of the IF works in chooseyourstory.com? While the forum is filled with unsavory characters, the quality of some of the works is better than most IFs found throughout the community as a whole
What's your favorite conspiracy theory, even if you don't believe it?
If you could have a conversation with your pet and they could understand you for just one minute, what would you say?
If you had a warning label, what would it say?
If aliens visited Earth and you were the first human they encountered, how would you explain our species?
What's the weirdest piece of advice you've ever received that turned out to be surprisingly useful?
What's the most absurd thing you've ever bought on impulse?
If you could have any mythical creature as a pet, which one would you choose and what would you name it?
As a french what are your thoughts on croak shoes and dad hats?
What's your favorite French expression or saying that you think the rest of the world needs to adopt?
If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance of winning a gold medal in?
😱
omg Anon...
Alright let's see
Teleportation. I hate the getting to places part of travelling. But also... Would it even work? Paris 2119 kinda gave me the ick about it at the same time.
I don't think I am. I'll eat almost anything and try new stuff when I can.
Any of the slice-of-life/like-the-real-world setting. Space is cool but it's too dangerous. Fantasy worlds don't have vaccines and medicine. It's like time travel: go in the past and you'll die of whatever disease is there, or in the future and maybe kill everyone with your bacteria (or was it the other way around? either way...). I'd rather live in a "normal" setting.
Half into a bed and mattress - the one you can bend up to read better. The rest in books and comics. If you give me the 5k in three years, I'll spend it in a gaming computer.
More unused bookmarks than books (I just have books on my bedside table).
I checked out the top rated listing on the main page a while back. Not my thing.
The Dead Internet Theory: the internet died some while back and is just populated by bots only. So we don't interact with people directly but through bots. It's a bit cuckoo. Or Nessie.
I've been told plants and rocks don't count as pets...
Volume not adjustable.
Don't bother, we're unsalvageable.
Touch grass. (go outside, take a walk, breath some fresh air)
Didn't buy, but I keep getting gifted croissant-related things: socks, kitchen towel... and more recently: the plushie. It is amazing. I love it.
The head of Mímir. I think we'd be drinking buddies. Especially if he is like in God of War.
Eh... Let people wear whatever they want.
« Quand le vin est tiré, il faut le boire. » - When the wine is drawn, you must drink it. Or finish your shit.
I am so average at shit, even then I wouldn't win any gold medal. And that's fine :)

Lenni Reviews: "Paris 2119" by Zep & Dominique Bertail
Lenni Reviews: “Paris 2119” by Zep & Dominique Bertail
(Image Source) *This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review. Set in the far future, Tristan Keys is one of the few who still looks back on the past with nostalgia; avoiding teleportation devices in favor of walking and loving printed books. But when he see what appears to be a duplicate of his current boss wandering around insane, he is sucked into a noir-ish mystery witn dark…

VERNON ZÉRO CARBONE
08-2119 / C’est l’après-midi dans la périphérie du Très-Grand-Paris. Les projets de grande envergure menés par le gouvernement au cours du dernier siècle ont repoussé les limites de la capitale jusqu’à la frontière de la Normandie. Aujourd’hui ces immenses coulées de béton ont été partiellement désertées, mais Vernon fait exception.
La proximité des nombreux terrains agricoles qui ont été préservés lui a permis de garder une partielle autonomie alimentaire. Par conséquent, sa population a augmenté considérablement, comme partout où les surfaces cultivables ont attiré les citadins fuyant les grandes métropoles au moment de la crise pétrolière.
La rue d’Albuféra a retrouvé sa vitalité d’antan. Vélos et piétons circulent avec une grande intensité ; artisans et agriculteurs y échangent leurs biens et leurs savoir-faire. Occasionnellement, le passage d’une des dernières voitures électriques attire l’attention. La difficulté d’approvisionnement en énergie électrique et l’impossibilité de trouver des pièces détachées sur le marché les ont rendues très rares.
En effet, il y a déjà quelques années, l’ère des très hautes technologies a définitivement vu sa fin. Le prix du transport des matières premières et manufacturées a augmenté de manière exponentielle, et l’importation n’est plus qu’un privilège des plus fortunés.
La production des biens de consommation a ainsi dû progressivement se relocaliser. Une nouvelle forme d’artisanat est née de ceux qui cherchent à produire local et low-tech, en mélangeant quatre millénaires d’évolution et de connaissances avec l’impossibilité de se fournir en énergie et matières fossiles.
Les éoliennes tournent sous le soleil de juillet mais du fait des énormes coûts d’entretien elles ne produisent plus d’énergie, tout comme les panneaux solaires. En revanche, des tous nouveaux moulins à eau et à vent sont venus s’installer sur le pont Clémenceau élargi, désormais abandonné par les voitures. Ils moulent les grains provenant notamment du Plateau du Vexin et ils fournissent aux petits fabricants l’énergie motrice nécessaire pour tailler, fraiser, irriguer les champs.
Après avoir essaimé sur tout le territoire, La Manufacture des Capucins a 100 ans et témoigne de ceux, élus, citoyens qui ont œuvré à la sauvegarde de notre bien commun pour la vitalité et la résilience de la ville.
Sur le boulevard Jean Jaurès, une briqueterie tourne à plein régime. Après l’alimentation et les transports, le BTP aussi a dû se réinventer pour pouvoir répondre à la demande croissante en logements des nouveaux arrivants. Ce secteur était tellement énergivore et dépendant des énergies fossiles qu’il a dû changer complètement de visage. Plus de plastique et de PVC, moins de métal et de béton. On construit avec du bois, des matériaux bio sourcés et des ressources issues du réemploi et de la déconstruction : du local adapté sur place. Quelques carrières de pierre de Vernon ont même repris leur activité. Sur les chantiers, aucune benne destinée à accueillir les gravats : à l’heure actuelle, rien n’est démoli, jeté ou même recyclé, tout est remis en état et réutilisé. Aujourd’hui, le bâti est à usage multiple et réversible. Il a pris de l’embonpoint, de l’épaisseur, de l’inertie par la matière.
La ville est dense comme elle a toujours été, mais s’est reverdie par nécessité et pour assurer une grande partie de son alimentation. Les sols, les façades et les couvertures sont végétalisés afin de protéger les espaces de vie intérieurs. Chaque habitation est répartie sur plusieurs niveaux pour s’adapter aux aléas climatiques et plus particulièrement aux fortes températures. On habite désormais les sous-sols, entresols et les toitures-terrasses jardins. Grâce aux campagnes de plantations du début du 21ème siècle, les grands arbres dessinent toujours cette ville où il fait bon vivre tous ensemble. Vernon semper viret.
Depuis 1072, Notre-Dame veille toujours,
Étienne Lemoine et Massimo Bettega architectes

Paris in love
Tumblr media
Beep, beep! The sound of the alarm started to be heard loudly. Suddenly, she turned her face toward the digital clock and she sent a signal with her left eye to stop the noise. Immediately, she began to review her list of activities for that day and she put special attention on one of this; send a gift for Valentine’s Day. A very common situation around the world, every February 14th, even if this story is happening in 2119.
After one hundred years some things remain the same, other things have changed. In this new world, everyone can be happy. No one has been programmed to be sad, frustrated or unrealized. The key to get this amazing result is an easy formula: intelligence, health, beauty and money for everybody.
One of these lucky inhabitants is PARIS. She is 32, very smart, independent and successful. She has worked as a supervisor in a high-tech company since 2100, when she’d been moved to Pyonyang, although she was just 13. At that time, she started to work in the rebuilt of both Koreas, after the Robot World War Four.
At 7:00 pm of that day, Paris sent her gift and almost automatically she received one in response. “Wow!” She said completely excited for her gift. She can’t believe it, when she discover that her gift is the last updated from her software. This uptated is able to provide her human sensations and more than one million of random feelings. In fact, she didn’t remember that she is the first prototype robot, which is part of the Project Automatic Robot Individual System (PARIS).
In case I didn’t tell you, the world has been under control of machines since 2050. I, myself, am a robot, which is pretending to be a stupid human being. How did I do that?
