A thousand secrets, a thousand dangers
“I just finished it. It was my happy moment of the whole holiday season. For me, that’s a good book: you’re a bit in mourning when it’s over.

We’ve been talking about it for years and worrying, denouncing… I think Alain Saulnier will go partly on the angle of the language because he identifies the GAFAM as an extraordinary threat language in Quebec; it is indeed very worrying for anyone who has teenagers around them, to see how culture is now conditioned by giants who are more powerful than states. […] I can’t wait to see his arguments and his research; he is a seasoned observer of our media and cultural world, very committed to issues of journalism and democratic life. »
