Summary

L'ensevelissement de Pompéi sous les cendres du Vésuve, en 79 après Jésus-Christ, a été le plus beau cadeau qui ait été offert aux archéologues. A votre avis, qui a fait le coup ?
Pour avoir deviné un des plus grands secrets du futur, la jeune romancière A. N. est enlevée pendant un bref séjour à l'hôpital, et se réveille au xxvie siècle, face à un savant du nom de Celsius. Entre ces deux personnages que tout oppose – elle, furieuse contre ce rapt, lui, contre cette fille qui en sait trop – s'instaure une conversation où il sera question de la grande guerre du xxiie siècle, du réel et du virtuel, de voyages dans le passé, mais aussi d'art, de philosophie, de morale.
Science-fiction, satire, finesse psychologique d'un affrontement verbal où chacun cherche la faille de l'autre : dans ce mélange détonant on retrouve l'humour acide, l'insolence, l'éclat du style qui placent la romancière d'Hygiène de l'assassin au tout premier rang des écrivains de sa génération.
