If the conquest of space continues to make some billionaires dream, in the future, going to the Moon will above all be a way of preserving Humanity. This is essentially the plot of Claire Garand’s novel, Paideia, a word from ancient Greek meaning education aimed at perfection to manage the ideal city.
A task entrusted to ten little girls, propelled towards the Moon to save and ensure a possible future for humanity, definitively extinct on Earth. Ten girls and tensions. Among those selected, the very young Quatre-comma-deux appears to be a pain in the ass.
It is she who transforms this SF text into “ powerful book on the themes of self-affirmation, harassment or the construction of one’s identity » according to Paul-Etienne Garde, editor of the collection.
