Summary:

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding, but the situation is desperately desperate. The case was shady from the beginning, however, the enemy did not fall from the sky, he came out of some hole, verdammt , a child would have understood. When did we stop being intelligent or just attentive? " Ute Von Ebert, the last heiress of a powerful industrial empire, lives in Erlingen, a wealthy stronghold of the German upper middle class. His daughter Hannah, 26, lives in London. In letters with a very free and often sarcastic tone, Ute tells her about life in Erlingen besieged by an enemy of whom almost nothing is known and whom she calls "the Servers" because they have decided to make submission to theirs. god the unique law of humanity. The population is feverishly waiting for a train to evacuate it. But the train of salvation does not arrive. And if this story was the fruit of a whimsical and anxious spirit, which observes the ravages of the spread of a sectarian faith in in tired democracies? As in 2084, Boualem Sansal describes the grip of religious extremism on the fragile areas of our societies, favored by the cowardice or the blindness of the leaders.
