These are the two books everyone is talking about! Two trials directly linked to the global pandemic. And who sells like hotcakes in France.
The first was published… a decade ago. Prefaced by the journalist and historian Alexandre Adler, this work, hitherto confidential, is enjoying a new life thanks to social networks. The essay "The New CIA Report: How will the world be in 2025?" "Released in February 2009 by Robert Laffont, is quite chilling in its premonitions. Eleven years ago, its (anonymous) author wrote: "The emergence of a new virulent and extremely contagious human respiratory disease, for which there is no treatment, could trigger a global pandemic".
Or again: "If a pandemic disease is declared, it will undoubtedly be in a densely populated area, with close proximity between humans and animals, as there is in China and in Southeast Asia. "
The book called the new CIA report "How will the world of tomorrow be?" written by Alexandre Adler.
