Introduction In these paradoxically obscurantist times, even though science, society and knowledge progress faster than ever, I think the following three readings are a must. Human knowledge is progressing in all fields, whether in hard sciences or in social sciences, the world is globally more and more at peace, we have more and more factual information at our disposal… And yet there are more and more people who believe in conspiracy theories, each one more stupid than the other!

Here is an ideal book in times of confinement or curfew, a novel of 960 pages! But at the same time, who wants to spontaneously start reading a book by a German author, Uwe Tellkamp, a surgeon born in the former GDR, who tells the story of his childhood and the end of the GDR? In principle, not me! But the circumstances are however particular, it’s a friend and ex-colleague who offered it to me 😃 She was born in Dresden, the place where almost all the action of the book takes place.

Here I’m going to talk about readings that I liked, magazines, books, comic books…, present my favourites and, maybe, make you want to read them :smile I started writing these texts a long time ago, in a private Slack channel at work, and I felt like gathering them here. Note: As of today, most articles are in French! That’s why you may not see many content in English here.
