I think the author should have took their own advice and make some severe cuts in this book. It felt like a lot of common advices (I don't know but reading "just do it" advices don't work that much on me so that's that...) wrapped into a lot of American new-age talking (have you tried meditation? meditation is great! You should try meditation!). While a lot of the advices are really interesting, I had a really hard time getting through this one and it felt it could have been at least half shorter and be more interesting (and less preachy).

Une magnifique histoire d'amour traversant la montée du fascisme en Italie, la mort d'un ancien monde et la naissance d'un nouveau. Mimo et Viola méritent vraiment les éloges qui leur sont faites, ce roman m'aura fait voyager, rêver, ému profondément aussi à de multiples moments.
"La science n’enlève rien au miracle, elle en parle juste avec une poésie qui lui est propre."

Une enquête très intéressante sur le dessous des cartes de la guerre en Ukraine et le poids du secteur énergétique derrière, montrant les liens unissant les états entre eux et les tensions provenants de ces liens. Extrêmement intéressant j'y ai découvert et appris beaucoup de choses sur ce qui a pu pousser au conflit Ukrainien.

Hard to rate this book honestly. I loved the main characters duo and their friends, and found the story endearing, especially regarding both evolutions and target. But there are several parts where I feel like this could have been better too.
The ending felt too long, the book could have ended around the 80% mark without changing much. Forcing a sudden attraction between the two boys felt also unnecessary regarding their common story during the course of the book.
The two main characters have deeply rooted problems regarding their distant past they don't tackle at all.
All the story around Dwight's ancestor, the fact that his father doesn't realize the pain it causes and the reason behind is not well constructed at all. Dwight goes in a trauma loop that isn't addressed in the book except by the fact that he suddenly tells this story in a Youtube stream where there's absolutely no correlation except being at friend's dad's.
Same goes for Leon that has deep troubles deeling with his mother's loss at birth that isn't addressed in the course of the book and seem to be a perfectly normal way to react and deal with others to everyone around him.

A short paranormal investigation story, quick read (did the whole thing while taking the subway), quite a page turner but leave you wanting for more!

Un excellent livre sur les changements qui bouleversent nos démocraties, l'impact des algorithmes et des données de masse dans le jeu politique ainsi que la montée des leaders populistes. Ce livre donne les outils pour comprendre ce qui est en train de se passer sur l'échiquier mondial et les conséquences portées par ces changements tout en donnant quelques pistes de réflexion pour essayer d'aller vers le meilleur (cependant avec peu d'espoir vu comme les cartes ont été redistribuées et les lignes retracées).
"[...] le point essentiel reste que les extrémistes sont devenus, à tous les égards, le centre du système. Ce sont eux qui donnent le ton de la discussion."
