« This dissertation shows how a signifiant number of French novels from the 1980s and 1990s are linked through their reflection of a society invaded and taken over by modern electronic devices. I specificially bring together novels by Frédéric Beigbeder (Vacances dans le coma), François Bon (Sortie d'usine et Temps machine), Laurent Chalumeau (Fuck), Anne Garréta (Sphinx), Patrick Grainville (Le lien), Jean-Philippe Toussaint (La télévision), and Jean Vautrin (Symphonie grabuge) ; and i argue that the accumulation of technology in these works results in the apparition of news spaces that French anthropologist Marc Augé calls non-places. These are places involving the circulation and entertainment of people, such as super highways, airports, stadiums, shopping centers or discotheques. »
