A flooded world, where there is no recession. A family that refuses to obey the government injunction. Benjamin Flao publishes Futuropolis, an anticipatory story with very current and personal concerns.
“It’s slowly starting to sound like a nightmare. An air-conditioned, secure, clogged and watertight nightmare to the point of forgetting that the water is rising ”. It is by these words that the reader is warned from the back cover which also evokes a world which “supposedly crumbles”.
When we open the album, we discover a world in which the water has risen, without the slightest hope of recession. This is where the characters of Benjamin Flao evolve, a family whose members try to live in peace and freedom without leaving the water’s edge, despite the injunctions of the authorities.
“The Water Age” the first volume of Benjamin Flao comes out this Wednesday at Futuropolis editions.
