The public domain. The world froze. Billions of decadent kids playing in the darkness of their bedrooms were surprised by Big Mama turning on the light.\u00bb <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>On March 21, Editions Au Diable Vauvert published a strange novel entitled <em>Simili-love<\/em>. Its flamboyant red cover, with a half-human, half-mechanical body, questions the reader, who - inquisitively - throws himself wholeheartedly into the work. For his fourth novel, Lausanne-born Antoine Jaquier tries his hand at the literary genre of anticipation. And it doesn't disappoint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Composed of twenty\nchapters divided into two parts, the book describes a society divided\ninto three population groups: the elite (5%), the designated (25%) and the\nuseless (70%). The protagonist, a member of the second group and a former writer,\nhas lost sight of his wife and son since the advent of La Grande Lumi\u00e8re,\na sort of year zero where the all-powerful multinational <em>Foogle <\/em>has made citizens' digital files freely available\ndigital files. This event marks the birth of a world, inspired\nfrom <em>Best of all worlds<\/em> of Huxley, where\nindividuals, transformed into notorious consumers, are addicted to soma, a\nsuper psychotropic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The atmosphere created by the author reveals a dark and disillusioned society; the technological revolution has certainly taken place, but it has seen two major changes: the creation of androids and the merger of the largest multinationals to form the \"androids\". <em>DEUS<\/em>, a global conglomerate that controls everything with an invisible hand. In such a society, only the elites enjoy a real existence in the megacities. The designated, of whom the protagonist is one, ultimately serve only to reflect back to the elites the feeling of their own superiority: a society whose elite have become magnificently narcissistic. As for the useless, they have been relegated to the wilderness outside the city, and we hope to exterminate them by sterilizing their food.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, in times like these, loneliness and unhappiness are commonplace, but... of course, again, <em>DEUS <\/em>will remedy this. The protagonist, a successful man in his own right, is presented to us as a decrepit, aged man at the start of the novel. However, his meeting and subsequent relationship with Jane, the android he has purchased, will turn his life upside down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u00abJane. It was a neighbor who convinced me to take the plunge. Months of advertising hype on the subject of androids. Until then, I hadn't been tempted to splash out on a silicone bimbo loaded with apps. What would I have done?\u00bb <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Mad Max<\/em>, a hero on a quest <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A priori<\/em>,\nthe reader imagines that this story is about a classic love affair between a robot\nrobot and his master; let's face it, this is not the case here. If there is a romance\nthere is, it takes a more subtle form, and gives us food for thought about the\nrelationship with the other. And, above all, to one's own humanity. So Jane, to our surprise\nsurprise, sometimes reveals herself to be more human, less alienated than the\nprotagonist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the arrival of\nJane into his life, Maxime, a failed writer, undergoes a veritable rebirth:\nrejuvenation, rediscovery of his human affections and resurrection of his will to\nhis will to rebel against an oppressive society. In this respect, our\nprotagonist embarks on an epic adventure, the writing of a novel, as well as the\nand the search for his son, missing since La Grande Lumi\u00e8re.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u00abFetch\nmy son. I didn't have\nwait long for that first sentence. It just popped out. For years it's been\nlike an eel, lurking in the depths of my psyche.\nA simple sentence.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as the novel is concerned, we have a marked preference for the first part, which is more dynamic and engaging, and successfully immerses readers in the narrative universe described in the work, notably by focusing on the characteristics of the society evoked in the dystopia and immersing us in the protagonist's daily life. The second part - which takes us on a change of scenery - takes a slower pace and focuses mainly on what's happening within the population of the useless. This part, at least in its first few chapters, is almost like a <em>road movie<\/em> \u00abin a post-apocalyptic world. It's a delight, adding a dose of epic action as Maxime sets out on his quest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#1d296c\" class=\"has-text-color\"><strong>Read also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/2018\/11\/08\/the-plot-against-lamerica\/\">\u00abThe plot against America\u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u00abI can see myself criss-crossing the region on my Harley, the Winchester clanking at my back. Going from farm to farm stealing my fuel - at the <em>Mad Max<\/em>. Nickname I had as a child.\u00bb <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Visit <em>Simili-Love<\/em>,\na special concept<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fruit of extensive documentation, reading Yuval Noah Harari in turn, <em>1984 <\/em>by George Orwell, <em>A Brave New World <\/em>of Aldous Huxley, works on the ecological crisis and many other sources, the author draws up a fine synthesis of the most current work on the issues of artificial intelligence, genetic mutations and collapsology. <em>Simili-love<\/em> teems with interdisciplinary references and, in his own way, creates a place for himself within the vast literature of anticipation elaborated by his predecessors, to whom he sometimes slips in a few subtle winks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The famous \u00absoma\u00bb from <em>Simili-love <\/em>evokes the eponymous drug in <em>Best of all worlds<\/em>; <em>DEUS<\/em> can, in a way, bring back to mind <em>Big Brother<\/em> in <em>1984<\/em>. Finally, when reading a passage, the reader discovers the narrator's description of \u00abLa Grande Loterie\u00bb, suggesting a potential borrowing from the novel. <em>Soft Gulag<\/em> by French-speaking author Yves Velan. <em>Simili-love<\/em> is not only a tribute to the classics of the anticipation genre, but also a mature piece of writing that doesn't confine itself to imitation, but to creation.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u00abNot fake. We call it simili-love. Fake is not <em>fake<\/em>, it's something else. I really love you. You're my reason for existing. I get restless and my processor overheats when you're not well. If I don't see you, I look for you. It's like a craving that only subsides in your presence.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In so doing,\nthe author not only synthesizes the \u00abalready written\u00bb, but also puts his own\nhis own signature, as seen in the concept of the \u00absimili-love\u00bb.\nof \u00absimili-love\u00bb. This could be defined as a desire to imitate - in this case, the feeling\nlove, in this case - that becomes effective. Discovering this\nneologism, we think directly of philosopher Ren\u00e9 Girard's \"theory of mimetic desire\".\nphilosopher Ren\u00e9 Girard's \"theory of mimetic desire\"; all desire is, fundamentally, the desire to imitate. In\nthe simili-love developed by Antoine Jaquier is the desire to imitate\nimitation of the feeling of love: to see the other person show us love and to\nimitating Love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But imitation,\nwhether in Aristotle's work or Girard's, is a privileged mode of knowledge\nknowledge, and therefore ends up teaching us something.\nagain, it's through imitation that androids - pretending to be in love - discover love\ndiscover love and become real partners with humans. Rather than\nplaying on the <em>topos<\/em> - exploited\n- of the android developing self-awareness or affects out of nowhere, the invention\nnowhere, the invention of this conceptual tool makes the humanization of\nthe humanization of machines more plausible and demonstrates an interesting bias on the part of the author:\nbringing androids closer to humans rather than the other way round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By creating a universe rich in references and complexity, <em>Simili-love<\/em> pleasantly surprises readers. The story holds its breath from beginning to end, and the protagonist, despite his antiheroic appearance, proves to be a pleasant, endearing and, above all, human companion. Some scenes border on the \u00abd\u00e9j\u00e0 vu\u00bb or \u00abclich\u00e9\u00bb. But we don't mind; we believe that every clich\u00e9 has an element of truth and a narrative function. Ultimately, in <em>Simili-love<\/em>, It's the apotheosis of a protagonist in a ruined world looking for a new builder to put everything back together again. In saying this, we can't help but think of the novel's final scene: carrying on against all odds, which brings to mind a certain phrase uttered by the protagonist in the manga <em>Berserk<\/em>&nbsp;by Kentaro Miura: \u00abIn a war, the last man standing is the victor.\u00bb &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo credit: \u00a9 Ivan Garcia for <em>Le Regard
