And then I tell myself that my column is going to be very hard to write and especially that it will be exceptionally bland. For it is impossible to recreate in a few lines the incredible content of this novel, which in addition to immerse ourselves in an absolutely abominable world, and that could very well represent our future, the author manages to make us live an exciting story of budding romance and adventure.
ALE 2100, what is it? It's a game. A game that represents our world, virtually, in the year 2100. But this is not a game that can be seen on a computer screen, no. This is a virtual world with real feelings, and peopled with avatars called AI (Artificial Intelligence) Pre-programmed to live our gamers adventures in this world in order to make it better. Because obviously, we live today, everywhere and in every country, the premises of an Apocalypse created by man, whose FTA shows us the terrible consequences.
While Wave, Eo and the Emissary immerse themselves in the game, we immerse ourselves in this book, with ease, and we believe it, this future inglorious. I was seized by some scenes and I must hope never to see our world reduced to such horror. Everything is there: the ecological impacts with the disappearance of animals and the Amazonian forest, with economic slavery revived day, religious ... Nothing is spared us, the author has all the answers and let us know his feelings through the characters, who are fighting against the system to try to change it, little by little, through the proposed missions, which are increasingly difficult, trying and ... painful.
This is already a good frame, is not it? Know that this is not over! For further FTAs, there are also several stories that take place in parallel and are just as exciting! I especially loved the encounter between IRL aka Lola WaveRider and Erik-Oliver aka Eo and their budding friendship, mysteries around the Emissary, and of course the whole arc for our little Valens! For you see, ALE is a technological marvel, but the game also has a small flaw ... This mysterious player begins to interact with our three heroes, and it may well be that it can change everything ... Outstanding issue, there is nothing to be a cold sweat!
In short, ALE 2100, is a concentrate of emotions, adventure, fun, tears, but also a lot of humor. It is a book that you must read when it comes out this September! It is impossible to miss, or read by remaining indifferent. It is the emotion, fear and a beautiful hypertension and hyperventilation crises that accompany you in this original adventure and so out of the ordinary.
ALE 2100, this is a huge pad that returns us to the figure the terrifying world that we are creating today, and tries to make us understand that we can still change things, if will move a little! The FTA stake is our future if we do nothing. Except that we, we do not have super powers to change things. We, we can not ask Leah to safeguard our part. And we, we can not be reset to start all over again ...
