L’Opium du ciel de JeanNoël Orengo : la quête spirituelle d’un drone, entre ascèse des plaisirs charnels et exhibition des corps

Abstract

In his novel inUtled L’Opium du ciel (2017), Jean‐Noël Orengo narrates the adventures of a special drone owning a conscience. This steel creature will suffer some modificaUons which will revise his forner idenUty. The libidinous machine becomes a spiritual enUty. Herea<er, he aims to find the meaning of Life. He understands that the catastrophe is imminent because of the depravaUon of all values. Nevertheless, there is sUll hope : the cycle of metamorphoses will erase all. The drone will be the prophet of this renascence. The old world and its violence related to sexual desire will be cleared in favor of a more harmonious Earth.
