At a time of the deployment of 5G, connected cars, and artificial intelligence, The Dark Cloud, the result of an investigation carried out over two years on four continents, reveals the anatomy of a technology that is virtual only in name. Under the guise of limiting the impact of humans on the planet, is already asserting itself as one of the major environmental challenges of the twenty-first century.

In 2020, he published his first book, "The Rare Metals War: The Dark Side Of the Energy Transition and Digitalization" (Scribe Editions). To date, he has been awarded 14 French and international journalism awards.
