First published in French, this book is a collection of short stories by Edouard B. W., divided into three parts. The first will take you through short stories that could be considered disturbing emotional games. Integrated into the narrative, you will live through an impossible love story with a couple, observe two unlikely friends who walk tirelessly around the same block, and experience the difficult awakening of a student after a typical boozy evening. You will know that the most effective terror only occurs every day in real life. The second part is about the awakening of the consciousness of humanity: it's high time we discover our origins... and our future. You will be immersed in a merciless criticism of the society we have created, a questioning of our legitimacy on this Earth. But don't worry, there will be a positive note at the end. The author will very humbly propose a solution to preserve our good old planet, thanks to new technologies!The third part is ... simply a bonus! This almost autobiographical text tells the story of the overflow of a father's mutual love for his daughter, following their reunion after a long month of vacation.---Edouard B. W. is a French author who had a long-repressed passion: writing. A lifelong reader, his entire life has been fed by fantastic authors such as Jules Verne, H. P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, Philip K. Dick, Tim Powers, Peter Straub, Anthony Burgess, Pierre Boulle, Richard Matheson Sr. and son, and Anne Rice. "It was in 2014 that I freed myself and really began to write (something other than technical documents). I published my first collection of short stories in November 2015, Collection No. 1 - 3 Stories for People who Don't Want to Sleep, followed by In the Beginning - The Truth About the Origins of Man and His Future and Entropiae - The Dystopias of the Past Make the Entropies of the Future. In 2018, with some author friends, he founded the collective Les Indés Lébiles. They have published two collections of short stories, The True Valentine's Stories and Where are the dead? (Who Have Tears Full of Laughter). Entropiae in English was first an experimental project, then a dream that came true. And you have it in your hands!
