Je suis Arthur Wills Holmes, l'inspecteur Traqueur le plus badass d'Infernum.

Enfants, dans leur petite ville de Derry, Ben, Eddie, Richie et la bande du " Club des ratés ", comme ils se désignaient, ont été confrontés à l’horreur absolue : Ça, cette chose épouvantable, tapie dans les égouts et capable de déchiqueter vif un garçonnet de six ans...

Du sang, des armes et des larmes. Bienvenue au bout de la guerre totale. Plus d'État. La France s'est effondrée en trois jours, livrée aux assassins qui tiennent les rues, aux chiens de guerre qui terrorisent les campagnes. Partout le pillage. La folie. La survie.

For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike - either free and equal, or thuggish and warlike. Civilisation, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the 18th century as a reaction to Indigenous critiques of European society and why they are wrong. In doing so, they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery and civilisation itself.

So we’re interviewing five random couples about their meet-cutes and relationships and spending all this time together. Which is certainly...educational.
