The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy.

Vivants ou fossiles, les oursins sont des animaux étranges à nos yeux. Sans queue ni tête, ils sont une clé pour comprendre les mystères de l'évolution. Chercheur acharné, Bruno David a poussé l'enquête sur les échinodermes des plaines du Bassin parisien jusque dans les abysses, en s'aidant des outils les plus inattendus.

Will we merge with them to become human-robot hybrids?
