Author Description

In "Cosmic Disillusions", Alain Fernandes immerses us in a collection of twenty-five incisive science fiction short stories, where the promises of a radiant future turn into bitter deceptions. From the galactic Ark lured by a mythologized Earth in a deceitful brochure, to the AI that numbs revolts with tailor-made dreams, passing through obsolete robots wandering the streets, recycled into ruthless vigilantes, or a universal language imposed by digital censorship that erases past cultures, these tales explore technological hypocrisy, societal manipulations, and the illusion of progress. With humor and dystopian provocation, Alain Fernandes dismantles the myths of innovation: temporal cheats leading to chaos, cosmic volcanoes reminding us of human futility, or traders turning NSA espionage against the financial system. An unrelenting mirror of our world, where nature, AI, and human ego always regain control-often without mercy. A hard-hitting anthology to question our future illusions.
