Gounelle drew inspiration for this novel, which differs from all his previous works, from the coronavirus pandemic, and based it on studies by sociologists like Biderman and Chomsky to reveal how crises are transformed into tools of control, and how laws are crafted to force us into compliance, making us believe we are choosing our own destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe story begins in the United States, where Tom's world suddenly turns upside down. Fear grips everyone, and the American authorities impose new laws that tighten their grip on minds before bodies, in the name of preserving public safety. Strange decisions are made, penalties are enacted, and people are divided between the compliant and the rebellious. From the other side of the world, Christos, a Greek, watches the news. He doesn't like what's happening and is worried about Tom. For fear is not just an emotion... but a tool in the hands of those who know how to use it. And when he finally prompts Tom to ask the right questions, Tom's perspective on everything around him shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eA famous French writer born in 1966.
