- Summary:
- Thomas, a curious and constructive young MP, undertakes a study trip to Rugenia. Reformed under the leadership of the economist Stepan Gloss, this country has become the showcase for the best of all possible worlds between privatized services, cities without cars and championships of Diversity. A suitcase on wheels as a pilgrim's staff, Thomas is enchanted and then surprised at the contradictions of this ideal setting: where the pollution of cities is rejected in the suburbs; where the countryside is no more than a decor sold to the cut; where old Rugenes and their habits are opposed to hipstersIn a wink to Voltaire and Orwell inspires this fable more and more squeaky: when the deregulation of the economy goes hand in hand with the hyperréglementation of individual liberties, and when war is inviting in the game of communication.--Gallimard.
