Marguerite Duras, 1985

Alexis Madrigal just published my translation of Marguerite Duras (Fusion.net)

Fusion

Here’s an excerpt :

In the 2000s, there will be only answers. The demand will be such that there will only be answers. All texts will be answers, in fact. I believe that man will be literally drowned in information, in constant information. About his body, his corporeal future, his health, his family life, his salary, his leisure.

Alexis Madrigal is the Silicon Valley Chief at Fusion, and a former senior editor at The Atlantic.
He is my favorite writer about the implication of technology on our daily life, alongside with Evgueny Morozov and Sean Gourley, even the the latters tend to be too dark and serious sometimes.

He is editing a great newsletter : 5 Intriguing Things, my daily dose of sci-fi.
edit Feb 10th, 2015 : now the newsletter’s name has turned into Real Future.
