Technology of the Coup d'État: The Programmers of Authoritarianism

On Friday, October 2nd 2026 at 7:00 PM, Librairie Les Nouveautés will host Thibault Prévost for the presentation of his book Technology of the Coup d'État: The Programmers of Authoritarianism (éditions Lux).

In a context where generative artificial intelligence and technological tools are at the heart of public debate, Thibault Prévost questions: extreme marketing or real threat to our freedoms?

Are the techno-oligarchs, these child-kings who have seized power, playing the role of messiahs to fuel fear and retain control?

A necessary reflection on the excesses of technological capitalism and its impact on civil society.
