On the Edge

Solène, a young programmer girl in an innovative cyber start-up, understands what's wrong with the genius Gérald who created the company and created a huge buzz around his project: he's being eaten up by his partner's boundless greed and fear of losing control... and therefore losing his teams, the tools he needs to realize his ambitions: in short, losing his means both literally and figuratively.
So the young woman takes matters into her own hands, forcing him out of his comfort zone, but in the end, who's manipulating the other in this cyber relationship?
Initiatic, often hampered by the language barrier or handcuffs, and in her signature homodiegetic style (writing in the first person, from Solène's point of view alone), novelist and journalist Xandra Segredo has fun with this short, highly topical initiation story, about our computer consumption habits and a control freak bulimia, the inability of Generation Z to invest themselves physically, love relationships suffered like zoom meetings, the ease of concealing a feeling under a mask: all of which could be harmful to human relationships... or beneficial to those who know how to use them.
