The Rodarima Collection 1. Four Science-Fiction novels by Romuald Reber

Collection of Science-Fiction novels translated from French into English by the author. Based on his novels. Including "Prime de vie" written in 2010, In the year 2020, human society, faced with the rise of urban, civic, and economic violence, the degradation of its environment and the behavioral dehumanization of its population, accepted a new justice to survive. This new justice will have to guarantee to humanity a future and a new hope. From now on, every human being will have to pay a life premium. What will be the price? "Le très grand nettoyage" written in 2010. In 2025, the earth is overrun with waste. It frequently rains plastics of all kinds. From tiny pieces to others, several square centimeters. They cover the arable land of north-eastern Europe. The pressure on food resources is increasing. The North Pole is about to be open to commercial shipping. The last piece of ice is melting. Ecology is no longer relevant. The political party "Living with" is acclaimed by the city dwellers of London. In the big cities, almost the entire population is hooked on the drug of the dream. Jeremy Parker, who does not take them, develops nanotechnology modules. His dream, cleaning up the planet. "Rayonnement," written in 2012. The humanity faced with the anticipated end of their star will have to react to survive. The sun, about to turn into a red giant, will trigger a journey or rather a questioning among these humans of distant times. What answer will they find to save themselves from the flames of hell?"L'aube des seigneurs" written in 2017. The main subject of this novel deals with the possible changes in our social system, specifically the capitalist system in which we live, in the face of the implementation of artificial intelligence and the advent of humanoid robots. I have tried to portray, in this story, possible visions of what might happen, creating contradictory, even antagonistic, and other hybrid models. In this book, robots do not dream, but rather are extensions of human consciousness or ambition. We can speak of science fiction, although the stop on the image is, I admit, remarkably close to reality and could also be considered a contemporary "Epic" or even just a fiction. There is a lot of humanity in this story, love, hatred, and travel. The story takes place on several continents and far beyond.
