In the year 2119, instantaneous transportation technology has altered almost every facet of human civilization, improving countless industries and practices while also leaving behind a growing population who can't afford to keep up. But some people still prefer the traditional ways of getting from point A to point B, including Tristan Keys, a writer who refuses to embrace the technological advances everyone finds so mandatory. When tiny cracks start to appear in the world around him, he has to wonder if he hasn't been a pawn of technology all along…

This gorgeously illustrated sci-fi tale by acclaimed writer ZEP (A Story of Men, A Strange and Beautiful Sound, Titeuf) and artist DOMINIQUE BERTAIL (Ghost Money, Omaha Beach, Mondo Reverso) aims a spotlight on current social trends such as over consumption, climate change, social media, identity theft, and transhumanism.

Following a proud tradition of classic science fiction authors such as Philip K Dick, Isaac Asimov,and Arthur C Clark, this visually stunning work pays tribute to the great sci-fi comic artists of the past, including Wally Wood, Jean "Moebius" Giraud, Enki Bilal, François Schuiten, and Jean-Claude Mézières.
