Kaboum !

A sci-fi short story I had submitted for the contest organised by Geekopolis and Club Présence d'esprits. It managed to reach the final round, but did not win. The ending was deemed too brutal. I have since then modified and resubmitted it, after a suggestion from the jury of Club Présence d'esprits, AOC. Kaboum! narrates the life of Doress in a futuristic universe where the notion of privacy belongs to a past long gone. In an Orwellian context, people are continuously aware of what their neighbours live, think and feel. But on that day, everything is about to change for Doress.
Due to my background (in computer science) and my interests, I have always been concerned by issues related to data protection and privacy. This short story was the opportunity to discuss this topic in the context of a dystopia.
