Rufin goncourt in 2001, got us out here a novel that changes somewhat his previous writings, which did not prevent him from entering quickly topped the sales rankings, some comparing his book to that of Orwell, 1984. As for me, I've seen the old TV series "The Crystal Age", for those who remember ... Globalia is indeed the ideal society, peace reigns in these cities under domes, it is always there (artificially) beautiful, people live more than a century through surgery and to new bodies of clones, alcohol disappeared, tobacco is one of the risk sports, books no longer exist for the benefit of technological pinnacle, freedom seems total. Yet Baikal, the hero, has had enough of this universe that pushed happiness to the dictatorship. He wants to run away, from afar, there, in what's called non-zones, these lands outside Globalia, these non-protected places inhabited by primitive tribes. Under the leadership of one of the masters of Globalia, he will find himself in the middle of a huge plot apparently aimed at the loss of the partnership model, while the woman of his life, Kate, will try everything to join in his struggle ... That's about how to summarize 500 pages of this novel which readily devours and is pretty good, genuine diatribe our society in what it has to manipulative, and its future.
