L'Horizon des événements

Nathan Jeffrey is about to become a father and is looking back: why did his parents, renowned economists, abruptly abandon "The Event Horizon", the study on the limits of global growth they had undertaken in 1975, in the aftermath of the first oil shock? Had this ambitious multidisciplinary study been completed, would the future of humanity have been changed? And what did Louise Cooper and Edwin Wellington, two black hole-hunting American astrophysicists, discover in the late 1960s?
Brilliantly blending three narratives in different times and spaces, The Horizon of Eventsinvites reflection on the nature of the world and the universe, humanity's ability to change its future and the dangers of industrial society.
By drawing us into novelistic stories tinged with humor and gravity, Frédéric Sonntag helps us face the future and invites us to choose creativity in the face of uncertainty.
