Pour de nombreux lecteurs, la découverte du manga s’est faite avec Akira. Å’uvre phénomène dans les années 80 et 90, cette bande dessinée et le film d’animation qui en a été tiré ont vite propulsé le créateur Katsuhiro Otomo comme un auteur culte dans le monde entier. Sous le titre Anthology, les éditions Kana publient aujourd’hui dans leur label Sensei des histoires courtes signées du maître. Après Akira en version couleur ou noir et blanc et Dômu, c’est un nouveau pan de l’Å“uvre de ce mangaka qui devient accessible pour les lecteurs francophones.

Dans ce volume de 260 pages, des récits vieux d’une trentaine d’années sont compilés. Très divers dans leur format, les scénarios proposés ici vont de la science-fiction au moyenâgeux en passant par l’absurde. Souvent drôles, les pages se révèlent d’une étonnante modernité dans le trait. Des séquences sont également mises en couleur et bénéficient de quelques effets spéciaux, ce qui vaut au livre de dégager une très forte odeur d’encre.

Sans être indispensable, Anthology est un recueil recommandable, bien loin des premiers travaux gauches ou non-aboutis. Doté d’un humour étonnant et rendant hommage à ses influences les plus patentes comme Moebius et la culture rock, Otomo boucle l’album avec des commentaires pertinents sur chaque histoire. Pour 18 euros, les fans d’univers post-apocalyptiques et d’humour potache y trouveront leur compte, un grand écart anthologique !

Le premier tour du vote des militants socialistes, qui désignent actuellement leur nouveau premier secrétaire, n’a pas permis de départager Ségolène Royal (43,1%) et Martine Aubry (34,5%). Benoît Hamon (22,83%) est éliminé et appelle à voter Martine Aubry. Un second tour aura donc lieu aujourd’hui.

The CIA Inspector General John Helgerson just issued a damning report that says the CIA lied about and covered up its involvement in a drug interception program with the Peruvian Airport. In 2001 the Peruvian Air Force used information the CIA gave them to shoot down a small plane loaded with US missionaries, causing the death of Veronica Bowers and her infant daughter Charity. My prediction: no senior-level member of the CIA will be fired, punished, or imprisoned because of this. For one thing, they're untouchable. For another, the CIA needs all the people they have to run their own drug operations.

Researchers have long been trying to model actual brains in order to build a better computer "brain," and it looks like IBM is now getting a helping hand from none other than DARPA in its attempt to create one that it hopes will one day have the intelligence level of a cat. To that that somewhat unnerving end, DARPA is pouring $4.9 million into a project that'll include five universities and scientists of all stripes, who will work together to create an artificial brain that behaves like a real one right down to the neuron level. As the BBC reports, the researchers are describing this latest initiative as a "180 degree shift in perspective" from previous efforts, as they're now seeking an algorithm first and problems second, as opposed to starting with an objective and devising an algorithm to achieve it. As for DARPA's ultimate goal, well, that's still a bit of a mystery, though let's just say we won't be surprised if future robots start to become very easily distracted.
