Dreams of Utica updates several folktales, in particular Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, in a post apocalyptic Africa evoking Mad Max, and a cyberpunk world. The book鈥檚 structure is based on that of Homer鈥檚 Odyssey, and uses its episodes (e.g. dangers and monsters encountered, sailing in an unknown land, relationship to otherness.) The question of identity is challenged, what makes us still humans, when the machine and the virtual reality are more and more present. The topics are close to those in Blade Runer, Ghost in the Shell, Matrix, etc.Alyss, nicknamed the Dreamer, was a thirteen-year-old teenage girl, who lived in the Ghetto of Zone 3, a slum crowded with refugees of the Last War. The survivors had been waiting for an airlift to Utica, a distant city founded by the mythical Proteus. Alyss was prone to visions that allowed her to anticipate certain hazardous situations. During the Revelation ceremony, besides the mandatory biochips that gave access to citizenship, an extra biochip was grafted in her brain, which amplified her dreamlike abilities. However, she had to hide her gift. Through her visions, she experienced distorted perceptions of past and forthcoming events.I am currently working on a version in English for Royal Road Legends!
