Le post-humain comme monstre messianique dans Babylon Babies de Maurice. G. Dantec
The Posthuman as Messianic Monster in Babylon Babies by Maurice. G. Dantec

Summary/Abstract: Maurice. G. Dantec viewed himself as a “Catholic from the future” or a “techno-prophet”. In fact, his fiction is entirely dedicated to the description of a future where human beings will disappear and leave their place to a new species. Heir of Nietzsche’s philosophy, Dantec imagines in Babylon Babies the future of mankind through the Zorn twins, babies destined to be the next step for humanity. In Dantec’s fiction, the posthuman is a messiah that will finally reach possibilities impossible for humans. Both monsters and wonders, the Zorn twins are the next step of evolution, necessary in Dantec’s pessimistic vision of humanity.
