This is our last episode of season 2 of La Science CQFD. But we’re not leaving you like this! To spend the summer, we go back to basics: why read science fiction?
It is a broadcast in dyticus with two works. A first: “Aliene” rewarded with one of the major literary prizes of the year. In rural France, we follow a mutilated woman and a strange dog. A hybrid novel that blurs the lines of genres, in our very real world where science fiction is perhaps already there. Then a second book which opens onto many others: an essay as a love anthem for this literature which allows us to think about otherness and propose possible futures. Science fiction in all its summers.
