PROJET LITHIUM
L’HISTOIRE
Au cœur des glaces nordiques, une découverte archéologique menace de bouleverser l’histoire humaine. Élisa Torres, brillante chercheuse est appelée en Norvège pour analyser d’anciens artefacts retrouvés sous la mer du Nord. Mais lorsqu’un mystérieux silex identique est mis au jour à des milliers de kilomètres, au cœur du désert de Salars d’Uyuni, en Bolivie, une énigme scientifique et géopolitique se dessine. Entre explorations sous-marines, secrets enfouis et enjeux environnementaux, Élisa et son équipe se retrouvent pris dans une course contre la montre. Entre le passé et l’avenir, entre savoir et pouvoir, une seule question demeure : jusqu’où sommes-nous prêts à aller pour révéler – ou dissimuler – la vérité ?
SYNOPSIS
Ce roman Projet Lithium s’appuie sur des références variées, allant de l’histoire (conquête espagnole, civilisations perdues), à la psychologie (modèles de personnalité, éducation), en passant par la géopolitique (exploitation du lithium), la technologie (IA et énergies renouvelables), et l’anthropologie (systèmes d’écriture).
L’univers décrit dans ce projet entre en résonance avec plusieurs courants de pensée contemporains, notamment :
• L’idée d’une civilisation avancée et cachée (Luminia), inspirée par les théories alternatives sur Doggerland et les civilisations englouties.
• Une approche éducative innovante, fondée sur des principes psychologiques éprouvés (Jung, Berne, Bandura).
• Une vision technologique et écologique, proche des travaux de Rifkin et Smil sur les villes durables.
• L’importance croissante de l’IA, illustrée par des références à Minsky, Bostrom et Kurzweil.
Un thriller scientifique haletant où l’archéologie, la psychologie et la géopolitique se mêlent dans une quête fascinante aux confins du monde et de l’histoire.

THE STORY
Deep in the Nordic ice, an archaeological discovery threatens to upend human history. Élisa Torres, a brilliant researcher, is called to Norway to analyze ancient artifacts found under the North Sea. But when a mysterious, identical flint is unearthed thousands of kilometers away, in the heart of the Salars de Uyuni desert in Bolivia, a scientific and geopolitical enigma emerges. Between underwater exploration, buried secrets, and environmental issues, Élisa and her team find themselves caught in a race against time. Between past and future, between knowledge and power, only one question remains: how far are we willing to go to reveal—or conceal—the truth?
SYNOPSIS This novel, Project Lithium, draws on a variety of references, ranging from history (Spanish conquest, lost civilizations), to psychology (personality models, education), through geopolitics (lithium mining), technology (AI and renewable energies), and anthropology (writing systems).
The universe described in this project resonates with several contemporary schools of thought, including:
• The idea of an advanced and hidden civilization (Luminia), inspired by alternative theories on Doggerland and sunken civilizations.
• An innovative educational approach, based on proven psychological principles (Jung, Berne, Bandura).
• A technological and ecological vision, close to the work of Rifkin and Smil on sustainable cities.
• The growing importance of AI, illustrated by references to Minsky, Bostrom and Kurzweil.
A gripping scientific thriller where archaeology, psychology, and geopolitics combine in a fascinating quest to the far reaches of the world and history.
