Built around the theme of “Reality,” this official anthology of 2015 “Utopiales” (the biggest World Science Fiction Festival), the seventh edition published by Actusf, will lead you in mysterious jungles with Fabien Clavel, in a world of strange manners with M.R. Carey or to the world of strange beings with Laurent Queyssi … You will also come across former communist pilots who have seen UFOs during World War II, small robots’ runaways, old bistro buddies, crazy and alcoholic in a misterious Paris and in the houses of virtual reality within which everything is possible …
Not forgetting Alain Damasio that gives us a nice preview of the first chapter of his future unpublished novel, “Fusion”. Are you sure of your reality? Are we living and dead?
Thirteen new short stories to doubt everything …
