de personnes ont péri. Des pays entiers ont disparu et d'autres ont émergé, dont cette République - divisée en deux -, où vivent Emma et sa famille. Le quotidien de l'adolescente en Basse République en est un de pauvreté, tandis que le gouvernement maintient la population dans l'ignorance et la soumission. Chaque jour, Emma se rend à l'école où austérité et discipline font loi. Là, comme ailleurs en Basse République, les moindres paroles et gestes sont surveillés. La peur est constante, surtout pour Emma qui doit à tout prix cacher l'existence de son jeune frère autiste. En effet, le gouvernement réserve un sort tragique à ceux qui sont différents ou... insoumis. Chaque soir, Emma va travailler de l'Autre côté, à ses risques et périls, afin d'aider sa famille à survivre.

La frontière entre les deux Républiques devient soudainement infranchissable, tout comme celle entre les deux vies d'Emma... " -- 4e de couvTroisième humanité: roman] / 1
