Brins d'éternité (#51)

Dans La Fabrique de demain, on rencontre des hackeuses cryogénisées décidées à se venger de leurs ennemis, des travailleurs du tiers-monde bardés d'implants, des amants dont le seul contact se fait via leur combinaison connectée, des chimpanzés policiers et leurs partenaires humains, des corsaires aux corps altérés pour survivre dans les tréfonds du système solaire, un soldat aux capacités dignes de Wolverine à la recherche de son double, des robots dans un nouvel âge de pierre ou encore des extraterrestres qui, depuis leur berceau aquatique, n'ont jamais vu les étoiles...
À l'âge du silicium, qu'est-ce que la conscience ? qu'est-ce qu'être humain ?
La Fabrique de demain, c'est le sel de la science-fiction, le coeur battant du genre : des idées fortes au service d'histoires frappantes. La réinvention du monde.
La Fabrique de demain, ce sont vingt-huit nouvelles et autant de preuves du talent ébouriffant d'un géant en devenir.

La fabrique des lendemains

Elle décolla du quai pour grimper dans le ciel jaune terne. La Ville s’étirait dans toutes les directions. Surtout le haut. Tours gigantesques multicolores, immeubles résidentiels rotatifs, tunnels célestes qui se dépliaient et se repliaient selon la circulation. Eris s’éleva sans hâte à travers un essaim de drones. Par sa caméra ventrale, elle regardait l’upcar couleur argent qui les suivait.« Les rues basses, j’ai dit. » La voix de l’homme recelait une note d’impatience, désormais. Du code défilait sur ses yeux. Une pellicule de transpiration bordait la naissance de ses cheveux.« J’ai entendu. » Elle laissa leur poursuivant gagner un peu de terrain. « On ne vomit pas, à l’arrière, d’accord ? »Rich Larson est né au Niger. Il a vécu aux états-Unis, au Canada et en Espagne, avant de s’installer à Prague. Entre ses débuts en 2011 et aujourd’hui, il a publié un roman et près de deux cents nouvelles, régulièrement reprises dans les plus prestigieux Year’s Best du domaine et saluées par plusieurs prix de lecteurs. À tout juste vingt-huit ans, il est le nouveau prodige de la science-fiction anglo-saxonne, le fer de lance d’une SF post-eganienne qui, distillant les temps présents, synthétise le plus vertigineux des futurs.Sans équivalent en langue anglaise, élaboré avec exigence, La Fabrique des lendemains réunit vingt-huit récits d’une science-fiction proprement éclatante.

La Fabrique des lendemains

From the award-winning series comes an anthology of hopeful stories centering on: "What is a life well-lived? What would you do to have a meaningful life?"Recommended by Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, Locus, and Foreword ReviewsTravel with twenty-three speculative fiction authors through the seasons of life to capture the memories, identities, and moments of stepping through the portal of change, as they cope with their own journeys of growing older. From the moment of birth, through each threshold of our lives, to the moment we take our last breath, we age. Some of us leap into a hopeful future, some cling to the knowns of our former selves, some wander obliviously through the minefields and poppies of change. Something is lost, something is gained in each season. Things forgotten, things remembered. A child redefines identity and belonging in post-Soviet Hungary. A girl blossoming to adult awareness exchanges life for death in rural Canada. A college student chooses between the magic of ancient spirits and the magic of daily happiness in modern Japan. In futuristic India, a mother finds joy in the balance between family and career. Under the Andalusian sun, a mathematician consults his older self in affairs of love. In alternate Tanzania, a husband and wife discover wisdom in memory loss. A robot eases an old man's grief, and a grandmother opens her heart when she listens to her child.  And many more hopeful stories. ORIGINAL STORIES BY Maurice Broaddus, Vanessa Cardui, C. J.

Speculative fiction fans will find it well worth searching out."-Publishers Weekly"VERDICT: This collection is at turns haunting, yearning, and hopeful. An excellent volume of varied voices, both familiar and new."-Library Journal"Through soft and hard science fiction, magical realism, folklore, horror, high fantasy, and alternate history, the 20 stories and two poems tackle aging, loss, change, and adaptation. Like the authors and characters, the settings are diverse. Fans of speculative fiction are well served."-Kirkus Reviews"The dazzling speculative fiction anthology Seasons Between Us features a range of distinct and powerful voices. By stretching the boundaries of what is and what might be, the stories in Seasons Between Us are compelling in addressing choice, identity, and meaning."-Foreword Reviews (starred reviews)"A thought-provoking collection of short works. The subtitle clearly labels the contents while not fully preparing the reader for the depth of emotion and vulnerability found within." -Booklist (American Library Association)

Bullet Points 2 - Bullet Points

Ymir est un monde de glace.

De violence et de douleur.

Un monde que Yorick connaît par cour puisque c'est le sien.

Un monde qu'il déteste.

Et pourtant il lui faut y retourner pour y chasser un monstre.

Un grendel. Une créature des Anciens.

Mais il sait que sur Ymir il y a bien pire que le grendel.

Il y a celui qui lui a arraché la mâchoire vingt ans plus tôt - son frère.

Et sous les glaces d'Ymir, sous la rancour et la haine, la révolution couve.

Ymir

"An exciting twist on a hostile-alien-takeover drama. . .exhilarating." -- Washington Post
"An energetic, nonstop adventure." -- Chicago Tribune
Independence Day meets Lord of the Flies in this "thrilling and imaginative" debut about two young outsiders forced to fight off alien invaders in a post-apocalyptic city. (Fonda Lee)
When the aliens invade, all seems lost. The world as they know it is destroyed. Their friends are kidnapped. Their families are changed.
But with no adults left to run things, young trans-girl Violet and her new friend Bo realize that they are free. Free to do whatever they want. Free to be whoever they want to be. 
Except the invaders won't leave them alone for long. . .
This "warm, thrilling adventure about what happens after the end of the world" is for fans of Paolo Bacigalupi and Ann Leckie. (Cherie Priest)
