“Ici, dans les airs, à cent mètres au-dessus du sol, loin de la foule et de tout être humain, c’est le seul endroit où je ne me sens pas seul. Le seul endroit où je ne crains plus rien. Je suis si bien que je voudrais que tout s’arrête, que le temps n’avance plus, que le soleil suspende sa course, ou bien explose en nous engloutissant tous d’un coup. Brutalement. Dans un gigantesque éblouissement final.”

Ces robots de cinéma sont devenus de vraies stars ! Dans la vie,

les robots sont plus discrets ; pourtant ils sont partout et nous déchargent

de tâches pénibles ou répétitives : robots industriels ou domestiques,

drones, robots médicaux ou robots soldats... Une vraie “robolution” !

Mais jusqu’où prendront-ils la place de l’homme ? Celui-ci ne risque-t-il pas

d’être un jour dépassé par ces créatures qu’il a lui-même engendrées ?

Des premières statues animées de l’Antiquité aux humanoïdes,

cet ouvrage plein d’humour nous révèle tous les secrets du monde

des robots !

DENIS DIDEROT: “NO TO IGNORANCE”Raphaël JerusalmyEven from a young age, Denis Diderot refused the restrictions on knowledge imposed bythe bourgeois morality and clergy of his time. A desire in him gradually grew to make know-ledge accessible to all. After a long struggle, he managed to publish his vast Encyclopedia,his own brainchild. His work had a huge impact and challenged the domineering influenceof the obscurants of the day. The principles of Diderot’s fight – to share knowledge, withoutrestrictions, taboos, or moral and religious prescription - are still relevant today.

“Jour après jour, lui vient l’idée. Une idée dingue, irréa-

lisable. Un rêve fou. Berryer lui a dit que tout n’était pas

dans les livres. Eh bien, Denis va faire un livre où tout y

sera. Un livre pour tous, paysans et docteurs, bûcherons

et savants. Où se trouvera comment bâtir la charpente

d’un toit, comment démolir les préjugés, comment

vivent les hirondelles, les renards, les pauvres et les

rois, comment faire pousser les capucines. Où chacun

pourra consulter ce qu’il veut, librement, juste en tour-

nant les pages. Un livre immense, universel, contre

l’ignorance.”

“En disant non, toute désarmée que j’étais, je res-

tais en phase avec moi-même. Je ne cherchais nul-

lement à être une citoyenne modèle, moi que la loi

excluait du droit de vote, ainsi que de la liberté de

boire à n’importe quelle fontaine, de m’asseoir à la

place libre qui me faisait face, de me soulager dans

les toilettes publiques… Contrairement aux humains,

les animaux buvaient à la même source, quelle que

fût la couleur de leur pelage. En Alabama, un écriteau

surplombait nos fontaines : COLORED. Notre vie était
