What if it were already the end of History? Are we not all already clones?
Same culture, same jeans, same junk food, same thinking, same iPhone... nothing distinguishes the Modern from the other Moderns any more.
After Métamorphoses and its enlightened look at the upheavals of our humanity, the authors continue their Trilogy.
Hypotheses multiply about a world in search of itself, at once full of promise and seemingly overwhelmed by its own agitation.
A hysterical recourse to science, a frenzied assertion of the ego, the promotion of globalised industrialisation, the dictatorship of a one-dimensional emotion, an obsession with cultural democratisation...

And when the transition is complete, our still almost-human world will be a great museum housing the relics of a civilisation, a language and a cultural heritage, opening onto...
And conversations with Georges Balandier, Claude Hagège, Zhang Huan, Subodh Gupta, Jan Assmann, Jacques Revel...
