Features: This book is a science fiction novel published by the famous French writer Jacques Attali in 1997. The novel imagines that human communication can transcend the limits of time and space, meaning that people from the future can contact us and that we can contact the past. The protagonist of the novel, Adamms, receives messages from a person called Balsht in his computer network from August 8, 2126. Balsht claims that on August 14, 2126, the Comet Xifeng will collide with Earth, and humanity will suffer catastrophic damage. The only way to prevent the collision is to perform a nuclear strike on the comet, but the password to launch nuclear weapons requires Adamms's help to solve, thus beginning a story between people across different time periods.
