Title: The Tree of Possibilities - Bernard Werber - book
Summary :
Twenty short stories in the form of tales, legends, and mini-thriller novels.
With The Tree of Possibilities, Bernard Werber offers us fantastic stories where the gods go to school to learn how to govern their herds of humans, where objects are suddenly replaced by their names, where people are so limited that they can only count up to twenty, where people go on holiday in the 17th century after being vaccinated against the plague.
The most extraordinary scientific hypotheses about plant consciousness, the probabilities of humanity's future, and space travel rub shoulders with the most amusing philosophical theories. Full of poetic ideas, grandiose settings, and funny and colorful characters, this book reveals a new aspect of the work of the author of The Ants and Empire of Angels .
