Maalouf, who attracts attention with his essay books as well as his novels, returns with a future-oriented fiction in Empedocles' Friends . He draws a semi-dystopian world following the critical observations he included in his books Deadly Identities and The Fall of Civilizations . He invites us to leave Plato's cave and meet the Friends of Empedocles .
There are only two inhabitants of the small island of Antioche on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean: Alec, who wants to live a quiet life with the maturity of middle age, and the mysterious Ève, who left everything behind after the success of her first novel. The paths of these two people, far away from each other and enjoying their fragile loneliness, intersect one day when electricity, telephones, television broadcasts, the internet, in short, all means of communication become ineffective.
When there is no possibility of reaching the truth, the whisper newspaper begins to operate: The planet is on the verge of a nuclear disaster, America has been subjected to a global scale terrorist attack, technological developments that make humanity's life easier have now brought the end of humanity...
While the whole world is shaken by these rumors, a group of mysterious people who call themselves Empedocles' Friends and have highly advanced technology and medical knowledge appear to put an end to this chaos. While Alec tries to find out who these people are, he is forced to confront the contradictions of the world we live in. Nothing will ever be the same again.
“As I write these disappointing lines, I have the impression that I have come to the end of the story. "They came, they dominated, they created winds of both anxiety and hope in the world, and then they left."
