Synopsis

Adapt or Die is a disturbing thriller about the world of content moderators from Antoine Renand, an author of the Black Beast series headed by Glenn Tavennec at Robert Laffont.

When Amber, age 17, has a fight with her mother, her boyfriend becomes her way out. The couple heads for the south of France and stops at the home of Baptiste, a young man Amber met on social media. But when they get there, Amber has a bad feeling…

Arthur is a film director in his forties. His dreams and his marriage are crumbling. To keep up appearances, he quickly finds a job to pay the bills. With his brother’s help, Arthur joins a team of social media content moderators. His job is to delete videos containing prohibited content. But how long can he put up with the violence he witnesses?

Nothing could predict the meeting of Amber and Arthur. And very quickly, the same can be said of their survival…

This is a very contemporary crime fiction that you read like you would watch a series—without being able to stop.
