What if real power was no longer wielded in ballot boxes or parliaments, but in lines of code, digital infrastructures and the messianic dreams of Silicon Valley? In their hard-hitting essay, Apocalypse Nerds<\/em>, journalists Nastasia Hadjadji and Olivier Tesquet analyze the emergence of a new regime of authority they call technofascism<\/strong>: a distributed, opaque form of power, where the state reprograms itself like a start-up and visionary billionaires – Musk, Thiel, Vance, Yarvin – sketch out the contours of an anti-democratic future. <\/p>\n

Combining journalistic investigation and philosophical reflection, the authors map this shift from the political to the technological, and highlight a disturbing recomposition of the imaginary of power. Far from a science-fiction dystopia, Apocalypse Nerds<\/em> reveals a present already in progress, where the old tension between Enlightenment and Anti-Enlightenment, democracy and authoritarianism, emancipation and selection, is replayed. <\/p>\n

We invite you to come and talk to Nastasia Hadjadji and Olivier Tesquet about this captivating investigation, which questions our relationship with technology, democracy and the future.<\/p>\n

The meeting will take place under the Bains yurt, free admission.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"philo-aux-bains-how-technofascists-took-power","image":{"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-e1756533304967.jpg","id":7249,"extension":"jpg","width":922,"height":668,"filesize":97210,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":217,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6715,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-300x217.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":3075,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":556,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":30869,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-768x556.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":485,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":24660,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-669x485.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":232,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":7286,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-320x232.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":507,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":26656,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-700x507.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":48,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":850,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-66x48.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":145,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":3701,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-200x145.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":290,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":10373,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-400x290.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":435,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":20530,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-600x435.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":580,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":33158,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-800x580.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":391,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":16910,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-540x391.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":333,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":13026,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-460x333.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":217,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6715,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-300x217.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":128,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":2983,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-177x128.jpg"},"cmplz_banner_image":{"width":350,"height":100,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":3751,"url":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-sans-titre-350x100.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2025-09-28
