Gaspard Koenig, a writer with over 20 years of experience in novels and essays, has long approached politics through a philosophical perspective, aligning himself with classical liberalism and thinkers like Alexis de Tocqueville. Initially supportive of President Emmanuel Macron's early presidency, Koenig's views have shifted toward ecological and decentralizing ideas since 2020. He is a co-founder of the think tank GenerationLibre and briefly ran in the 2022 French presidential election. Koenig recently collaborated with illustrator Étienne Appert through the publisher La Boîte à Bulles to create a comic book that reflects his intellectual journey. Appert read approximately 1,500 pages of Koenig's theoretical work to prepare for the project. Koenig found inspiration in the 17th-century poet Nicolas Boileau's maxim that clear conception leads to clear expression. He argues that the comic book format demands precise articulation of ideas, prompting him to invent new concepts to clarify points that had previously gone unexplored. Appert describes the work as a "for adults" comic book, emphasizing its intellectual depth and its role in elevating the medium beyond its playful associations. The creation process involved iterative exchanges aimed at identifying inconsistencies and moving between subjects without adhering to a linear structure. While not a science fiction comic, it draws on the lineage of authors like Jean-Pierre Bourgeon, Léo/Rodolphe, and Hugues de Montalembert (known as Moebius), who addressed ecological issues through fiction. The comic opens with a scene of Koenig undergoing psychoanalysis with Tocqueville, exploring the concepts of freedom and nature. It distinguishes between often-confused political ideologies, presenting them as singular urbanisms or ecosystems. Koenig emphasizes understanding opponents' logic to formulate effective counterarguments, noting the need for clear ideas in a transitional era. He advocates for an evolutionary approach to societies, viewing them as ecosystems progressing through errors and corrections, with immobilism as the primary danger. On the democratic front, he supports decentralizing power to the local level and relativizes the role of political leaders, seeing them as reflections of public opinion. Regarding capitalism, Koenig rejects assigning it sole responsibility for the ecological crisis, noting that predation and extractivism predate capitalism. He separates the critique of growth from that of the market, which he views as a vector of individual freedom. Koenig has grown increasingly critical of generative AI, perceiving it as a culmination of disconnection from life and an abandonment of human uniqueness. He acknowledges limited uses of AI, such as medical tumor detection, but challenges its role as a societal pillar. Appert adds that drawing is "irreducible to a computational result," highlighting the irreplaceable human element in artistic creation. The comic aims not to convince but to provoke thought, offering an ambitious intellectual exploration.
