    A graphic novel about the promises and perils of AI.

    Hugo, a Parisian entrepreneur, has launched his startup on Large Language Model technology at the heart of the revolution embodied by ChatGPT. On the verge of securing the deal of the century with the digital giant REAL, he wonders about the latter’s real motivations: is this the making of a dream or a nightmare? Could Hugo’s developments be used for social and political control? REAL’s plans for the international launch of their “immortality game” seem to be increasingly opaque, and as useful and efficient AI promises to be, he begins to realize it may also be a potential source of catastrophic outcomes and indecent concentrations of wealth.
    Appupen is the author of the Halahala comic book series. His first book Moonward was published in 2009, and he has since been a major voice in Indian comics.

    Laurent Daudet, a university professor and former student of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (Ulm), is an internationally recognized expert on the links between information theory and wave physics. He runs the startup LightOn, which is at the forefront of LLM technology, the new generation of AI.
