Bernard Werber, a renowned French science fiction author, gained widespread recognition for his “Ants” trilogy, which delves into the intricate society of ants. The trilogy, which began with the 1991 novel Les Fourmis (The Ants), has been translated into over 30 languages. Some of Werber’s other notable works include Le Jour des fourmis (Day of the Ants), Les Thanatonautes (The Thanatonauts), La Révolution des fourmis (The Revolution of the Ants), and L’Empire des Anges (Empire of the Angels). In addition to his literary success, Werber has been acknowledged for his investigative journalism, winning the 1994 Prix Vérité.

A strong advocate for transhumanism, Werber has also penned works such as La boîte de Pandore (Pandora’s Box) and L’ultime secret (The Ultimate Secret) that explore this philosophy. His success with the “Ants” trilogy in the 1990s established him as one of France’s most popular science fiction novelists. Werber’s interest in the genre was sparked during his journalism studies in Paris in 1982, where he encountered the work of sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick.
