Dystopian Novel
Date Published: May 2, 2025
In 4029, Homo convertibilis has replaced Homo sapiens and their
scientists study the "Pierre de Vent," a collection of political, historical,
and ancient sacred texts written by the "founding father," who is the
reference of the new society.
2054, to combat the chronic anemia of the sedentary population, who live
cloistered and under government tutelage, the pharmaceutical company Orson and
Orson, of which Nucleus is the main shareholder, developed a regenerative pill
called Jouvence. Everyone is clamoring for it. "Unfortunately," the side
effects of the miracle product affect the libido of the consumers, causing
them to literally die of pleasure.
Nucleus manipulates governments to gradually rid the planet of the surplus
humans who no longer have a place in a society where finance has supplanted
mass consumerism. His hope is to turn Earth into a true Eden for his people
who are, in his eyes, the only humans worthy of survival. However, a
persistent infertility crisis amongst his kind, casts a dark shadow over his
once-promising vision of a utopian future. Meanwhile, in the Metropolis, some
Sedentaries, including Winston, manage to escape the systematic and inevitable
extermination set in motion by Nucleus.
Will they be able to survive the persecution of the army of liberty and the
reactivation of the GMO seeds of hyper-accumulating hyacinths that has covered
the entire planet?
Gripping, provocative, and chillingly prescient, Eden: The Final Solution is a
dystopian tour de force that challenges the limits of progress, morality and
reimagine the Orwellian dystopia, shaped by the excesses and anxieties of our
time. Fans of Brave New World and 1984 will find themselves
enthralled—and terrified—by this haunting vision of the future.
About the Author
Pascal Bouquillard is a jack-of-all-trades. After graduating from the
“Baccalauréat économique et social” in France, he pursued
classical music studies at the “École Normale de Musique de
Paris”, taught for almost 30 years, acted on American stages in South
Carolina and published acoustic versions of his favorite songs on the YouTube
channel, “pascalsguitar”.
At the end of the ’80s, he spent several years touring Europe and
French-speaking countries with the “Trio Français de Guitare”,
which he co-founded and which specialized in transcriptions of works by early
20th-century composers. Unfortunately, focal dystonia prevents him from
pursuing a career as a classical guitarist. He then obtained a scholarship to
the “Maitrise de Musique Baroque de Versailles”, where he played
tenor and was introduced to conducting.
In the ’90s, he co-founded the progressive rock band Saens, in which he
was composer, singer, bassist and acoustic guitarist, and with whom he
released three albums: Les Regrets d’Isidore D, Escaping From The Hands
Of God and Prophet In A Statistical World.
In 1997, he conducted Benjamin Britten’s opera “Noah’s
Ark” at the Cathédrale Saint Louis in Versailles, the Église Saint
Augustin in Paris and the Théâtre de Poissy. That same year, he was invited to
conduct a group of musicians from the Orchestre National de France at the
Théâtre des Champs Élysées, on the occasion of Mstislav Rostropovich’s
70th birthday.
He then moved to the USA to find the woman he was to marry. Interested by the
turn the world economy is taking, he returns to his original political
passions.
After more than 5 years of research and reflection as part of a virtual
focused group of French citizens, and driven by the anxieties provoked by his
discoveries, he launched into the writing of “Eden” and the
“Practical Guide toward an Atomic Democracy”.
