Démocratie mécanique

Alain Beaulet’s Démocratie mécanique is a single-issue French comic from 2000 that blends political satire with mechanical science fiction, envisioning a society where democracy is literally run by machines. Published as a standalone work, it stands as a sharp, self-contained thought experiment on automation, governance, and civic agency. The book’s concise, provocative premise has made it a cult touchstone for readers interested in the intersection of technology and political theory in European comics.
