Résumé:
A thought-provoking, binge-worthy new collection of essays, stories, and musings from Douglas Coupland, Bit Rot explores the different ways in which twentieth-century notions of the future are being shredded, and it is a literary gem of the digital age. “Bit rot” is a term used in digital archiving to describe the way digital files can spontaneously and quickly decompose. As Douglas Coupland writes, “Bit rot also describes the way my brain has been feeling since 2000, as I shed older and weaker neurons and connections and enhance new and unexpected ones.” "Bit Rot" the book is a fascinating meditation on the ways in which humanity tries to make sense of our shifting consciousness. Coupland, just like the Internet, mixes forms to achieve his ends. Short fiction is interspersed with essays on all aspects of modern life. The result is addictively satisfying for Coupland’s established fanbase hungry for his observations about our world, and a revelation to new readers of his work. For almost three decades, his unique pattern recognition has powered his fiction, his phrase-making, and his visual art.

Résumé:
De A, comme Abaton, à Z, comme Zuy, voici qu'un dictionnaire nous offre la plus merveilleuse des invitation au voyage. A partir des univers que de tous temps se plurent à inventer les ecrivains du monde entier, Alberto Manguel et Gianni Guadalupi, forts de leur conviction que la fiction est réalité, ont recensé lieux imaginaires et sites chimériques. Ils en rappellent la situation géographique, la topographie, le climat, la faune et la flore, les formes de gouvernement, les transports et moyens de communication, les moeurs et les coutumes locales, les curiosités touristiques ou les spécialités locales... Rien n'étant inventé, on pourra vérifier dans les textes cités l'exactitude de toutes ces informations, qu'enrichissent par ailleurs " les indispensables " du genre : cartes, plans, dessins, assortis de conseils pratiques, si utiles au voyageur... Recensés avec une extrême rigueur mais loin de tout souci d'exhaustivité, les auteurs et les ouvrages cités ont été choisis selon la seule règle du plaisir. Chaque article de ce dictionnaire, s'il invite à un voyage passionnant à travers l'un ou l'autre des lieux imaginaires, est également prétexte à découvrir - ou à redécouvrir - comme autant d'îles au trésor, des oeuvres illustres ou plus secrètes. Aussi, comment ne pas engager le lecteur a suivre sans délai cette recommandation d'Italo Calvino : " Dans la Bibliothèque du Superflu dont j'aimerais qu'elle trouve toujours une place sur nos étagères, ce Dictionnaire des lieux imaginaires est, sans l'ombre d'un doute, un ouvrage dont la consultation est indispensable " ? --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.
