The Prix Les Visionnaires of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines has announced the 10 books selected for its 2027 edition. The shortlisted works explore themes such as artificial intelligence, climate change, borders, social media, and authoritarian societies. From these 10, three will be chosen on November 5, 2026, before the public voting phase begins on December 1. The 2026 winner, Gabrielle Filteau-Chiba, will preside over the selection process. Established in 2022 by the Network of Libraries of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, the Prix Les Visionnaires annually honors a fictional work that offers a unique perspective on the world and challenges current realities and potential futures. The 10 selected books are Hazar Tango by Sigrid Baffert (Cambourakis), The sky has disappeared by Alain Blottière (Gallimard), The red chance by Damien Igor Delhomme (Agullo), Except for the border by Elisa Shua Dusapin (Zoé), Let the dogs loose by Antonin Feurté (Paulsen), Septentrionale by Karim Kattan (Elyzad), Scopophilia by Alexandra Matine (Les Avrils), Things I Thought I Had Lost by Clémentine Mélois (Gallimard), The seventh whistler by Colin Niel (Seuil), and Believe in the code by Sarah Tadlaoui (Héloïse d’Ormesson). These books will be read and discussed by librarians from the Network of Libraries and cultural partners in the region, including booksellers, associations, and reading groups. Three of the 10 books will be selected on November 5, 2026. The public will then be able to vote from December 1, 2026, to April 23, 2027, through the Network of Libraries' website. The final winner will be determined equally by the public vote and the jury's decision. The award ceremony is planned for April 24, 2027, with the winner receiving a prize of 5,000 euros. This year's jury will be chaired by Gabrielle Filteau-Chiba, the 2026 winner, and will include librarians, partner booksellers, associations, and readers from the Network of Libraries of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. The Prix Les Visionnaires aims to encourage reading and recognize works that question the changes in the modern world and possible futures. In previous years, the award was given to Delphine Minoui in 2025, Lilia Hassaine in 2024, Sybille Grimbert in 2023, and Michael Christie in 2022. Two former winners are also in the news this year: Lilia Hassaine is on the shortlist for the Goncourt Prize, and Sybille Grimbert is on the shortlist for the Femina Prize.
