THE DISCONNECTED
(Les déconnectés)
2077 : la population des Provinces Unies a survécu à l’apocalypse climatique grâce à SESAM. Ce logiciel répartit idéalement les ressources disponibles à l’aide d’algorithmes recueillis par des OMNIs, colliers connectés que doit nécessairement porter chaque citoyen. Mais certains refusent de les porter et mettent en péril tout le programme. Marcus Vidal est chargé de retrouver l’une de ces réfractaires, Emma Berger, mais ses investigations le mènent à découvrir le sort inhumain que le gouvernement réserve à “ces déconnectés”
