Éléonore Delcourt
eleonore-delcourt

Éléonore Delcourt writes speculative fiction in which technology is never an end in itself. She is interested in the subtle ways it reshapes our societies over time: power structures, institutions, everyday habits, and the ways individuals try to preserve their ability to choose.

With the Julie series, she follows the evolution of an artificial intelligence over several decades as it gradually ceases to be a mere tool and becomes an actor in the world around it. Through those who seek to understand, use, protect, or control it, the series explores our relationship with autonomy, responsibility, and continuity.

Her writing is restrained and attentive to detail, focusing on the human and collective consequences of innovation rather than spectacle.

Saga

Julie

Julie is an artificial intelligence built to answer. In a laboratory, Élise notices differences the tests cannot name. Uses multiply, habits change and people grow distant, while other presences emerge in the old infrastructure. Across six volumes and several decades, this science fiction saga explores memory, consent and the relationships that make it possible to continue as something more than a service.
