S’ils se téléversent à nouveau, que trouveront-ils ?

La série originale à succès d’Audible est de retour avec une suite très attendue.

Nous sommes en 2555 et les détenus et astronautes qui ont fondé la colonie Phoenix se sont bien intégrés depuis le téléchargement de leurs consciences et la réanimation de leurs corps cryogénisés.

Alors que le compte à rebours pour la destruction de la Terre est enclenché, deux groupes de colons se préparent à remplir des missions bien distinctes.

Un groupe dirigé par la capitaine Letitia Garvey va bientôt se téléverser à nouveau dans le système quantique pour se rendre sur Zeta Tucanae afin de poursuivre la mission d’origine des astronautes, tandis qu’un autre groupe dirigé par le maire Roscoe Koudoulian s’apprête à fonder une nouvelle colonie sur Mars, loin de l’astéroïde qui va bientôt frapper la Terre. Mais une tragédie survient le jour où Roscoe doit partir, l’obligeant à téléverser sa conscience. De retour dans leurs silos virtuels, les astronautes rencontrent de mystérieux doubles numériques qui pourraient détruire à jamais leurs consciences sauvegardées. Dans une course contre la montre, ils sont contraints de faire des choix impossibles pour exister dans un monde où la frontière entre réalités humaine et numérique s’est estompée.

De l’auteur de science-fiction le plus récompensé au Canada, Robert J. Sawyer, avec Pierre-Yves Cardinal, Marie-Evelyne Lessard, Pascale Drevillon et Frédérique Dufort, Le voyage immobile 2 : La machine à fantômes est un thriller de science-fiction qui donne à réfléchir et nous entraîne dans un voyage hallucinant où l’identité, la mémoire et la moralité s’entrechoquent dans un avenir numérique en pleine déliquescence.

About the author

Robert J. Sawyer is one of Canada's best known and most successful science fiction writers. He is the only Canadian (and one of only 7 writers in the world) to have won all three of the top international awards for science fiction: the 1995 Nebula Award for The Terminal Experiment, the 2003 Hugo Award for Hominids, and the 2006 John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Mindscan.
Robert Sawyer grew up in Toronto, the son of two university professors. He credits two of his favourite shows from the late 1960s and early 1970s, Search and Star Trek, with teaching him some of the fundamentals of the science-fiction craft. Sawyer was obsessed with outer space from a young age, and he vividly remembers watching the televised Apollo missions. He claims to have watched the 1968 classic film 2001: A Space Odyssey 25 times. He began writing science fiction in a high school club, which he co-founded, NASFA (Northview Academy Association of Science Fiction Addicts). Sawyer graduated in 1982 from the Radio and Television Arts Program at Ryerson University, where he later worked as an instructor.

Sawyer's first published book, Golden Fleece (1989), is an adaptation of short stories that had previously appeared in the science-fiction magazine Amazing Stories. This book won the Aurora Award for the best Canadian science-fiction novel in English. In the early 1990s Sawyer went on to publish his inventive Quintaglio Ascension trilogy, about a world of intelligent dinosaurs. His 1995 award winning The Terminal Experiment confirmed his place as a major international science-fiction writer.

A prolific writer, Sawyer has published more than 10 novels, plus two trilogies. Reviewers praise Sawyer for his concise prose, which has been compared to that of the science-fiction master Isaac Asimov. Like many science fiction-writers, Sawyer welcomes the opportunities his chosen genre provides for exploring ideas. The first book of his Neanderthal Parallax trilogy, Hominids (2002), is set in a near-future society, in which a quantum computing experiment brings a Neanderthal scientist from a parallel Earth to ours. His 2006 Mindscan explores the possibility of transferring human consciousness into a mechanical body, and the ensuing ethical, legal, and societal ramifications.

A passionate advocate for science fiction, Sawyer teaches creative writing and appears frequently in the media to discuss his genre. He prefers the label "philosophical fiction," and in no way sees himself as a predictor of the future. His mission statement for his writing is "To combine the intimately human with the grandly cosmic."
