Used book – The Tree of Possibilities, Bernard Werber

Twenty short stories in the form of tales, legends, and mini-thrillers.

In L’Arbre des possibles (The Tree of Possibilities), Bernard Werber offers us fantastic stories where gods go to school to learn how to properly govern their flocks of humans, where objects are suddenly replaced by their names, where people have a limited mind and can only count up to twenty, where one goes on vacation to the 17th century after being vaccinated against the plague.

The most extraordinary scientific hypotheses on plant consciousness, the future probabilities of humanity, or space travel coexist with the most amusing philosophical theories. Teeming with poetic ideas, grandiose settings, and funny, colorful characters, this book reveals a new aspect of the work of the author of Les Fourmis (The Ants) and L'Empire des anges (The Empire of Angels).
