A fiction or even a book written about the rational absurdity and "mathematical" any totalitarian regime, Zamyatin who will say the precursor of Orwell and Huxley, offers us almost a precursor document (it has undergone the Soviet regime) which I quote a few sentences explicit: - "There are a thousand years that our heroic ancestors have reduced the total land area in the power of the United State ..." (it looks like thoughts Attali and other "globalizers") - "It is our responsibility to pass the beneficent yoke of reason to any unknown beings ... who find themselves in the wild freedom" - "If they do not understand that we give them the exact mathematical and happiness, our duty is to force them to be happy But before all other weapons, we will use the Word." (Remember, it reminds me of the welfare state and the Assistantship, the proliferation of suitable laws throughout the course of the various facts and this hilarious exception to the French as the precautionary principle, the "talking points" so dear to our politicians etc .....). I will not dwell on the glass houses - as all must live in full view of everyone except for standard sex with pink ticket - occupied by creatures brought to the stage of uniform numbers; nor the unfortunate discovery of the existence of the Soul and Love passion by the hero of the book, soul and love conceived as a disease, nor even the "Great Operation" of brainwashing to enter the definitive happiness .. ... but everything ends "well" after meeting with the benefactor and hero of brainwashing and punishment of amorous disruptive, finally returns the reign of Reason. In the background the future leaders (? And present) does not ensure they their "jobs" in a world of billions of people, that this promise: "We have ways of making you happy?" A book to reflect and act to fight and stay human with all our individual talents and even our weaknesses ....
