Almost Perfect World

A techno-dystopia by Laurent Gounelle, one of the top five most popular French novelists, whose books have been translated into forty languages, author of the mega-bestseller «God Always Travels Incognito»! The world in which programmer David Lisner lives has split in two. On one side— a highly developed society of the Correct: they are free from diseases, poverty, and doubts, do not have to work, are never parted from their phones, receive bonuses for diligently following the recommendations of numerous mobile applications, and risk ending up on the sidelines if they stop obeying. On the other side— the Outcasts; refusing to accept total technological enslavement and information control, they have resettled on an island that the Correct prefer to avoid. However, David will have to go there. He must inform a girl named Eva Montoya that her uncle, a great sociologist, has died, and obtain his last scientific work, which threatens to undermine the foundations of the almost perfect world in which David is so comfortable. However, the freedom-loving Eva asks a lot of uncomfortable questions, and gradually David begins to wonder himself. And why, in fact, is he obliged to meekly fit into other people's expectations?..

Since the publication of his first novels, Laurent Gounelle, a specialist in personal development psychology, has firmly entered the top five most popular French novelists. He is the author of ten books, translated into forty languages, and his works are on par with those of Marc Levy and Guillaume Musso. «Almost Perfect World» is a vivid, transparent story about what happens when people give up their right to choose to authorities or algorithms for the sake of everyday comfort.
