Us in a World Out of Order<\/em> (French edition: Nous dans un monde en d\u00e9sordre<\/em>, subtitled \u201cChina, America and the Reshaping of the World\u201d) <\/strong>is a first-person work of nonfiction recounting the author\u2019s own experiences over the past year, 2025, as he moved through more than a dozen countries and territories \u2014 the United States, China, Dubai, Barcelona, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong (China), the Philippines, Canada and Japan. The author had run his own company for many years; when it was forced to close amid China\u2019s prolonged economic downturn, he fell from the upper-middle tier of society to become one of \u201cthose at the bottom.\u201d It was precisely this fall that allowed him, as a single \u201cthread,\u201d to string together the people he met along the way \u2014 those crammed into tiny rented rooms, those held in immigration prisons, those scraping a living at the bottom, those fleeing disaster, those who grew suddenly rich or were ruined in the swings of global capital \u2014 and to tell these ordinary destinies, swept along by the tides of the age, as one would tell a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not the commentary of an onlooker, but the true testimony of someone who lived it, written in the midst of his own wandering. The book holds the author\u2019s firsthand record of being detained in an immigration prison at the US\u2013Mexico border, of undergoing vetting and appearing before an immigration court; it also offers, through his double lens as entrepreneur and traffic-engineering expert, a clear-eyed observation of the economic confrontation between China and the United States, the tariff and technology contests, Southeast Asia\u2019s \u201cgrey industries,\u201d and the plight of China\u2019s private economy. For French and English readers alike, it is a rare window: through one Chinese man\u2019s path of \u201cinnocent exile,\u201d to understand how America\u2019s \u201cwar on immigrants\u201d comes down upon ordinary people, how the contest between the world\u2019s two largest economies is reshaping the world, and what China\u2019s society, economy and markets truly look like today. With a restrained yet warm hand, the author brings vast global upheavals down onto one individual life after another \u2014 a read that is at once the rise and fall of a personal fate and a cross-section of this disordered age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the French and English editions are already publicly available on numerous platforms. A limited number of printed French and English copies will be on hand at the fair, available first-come, first-served. To avoid disappointment, IEP suggests that readers wishing to own a signed copy purchase a physical book online in advance and bring it to the fair on the day, to be signed by the author free of charge. The author will also be at the stand to meet readers face to face and share the experiences and reflections behind the writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salon du livre de Paris | S\u00e9ance de d\u00e9dicace avec l\u2019auteur de Nous dans un monde en d\u00e9sordre<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Le salon d\u2019automne organis\u00e9 par L\u2019Autre Livre, l\u2019association des \u00e9diteurs ind\u00e9pendants fran\u00e7ais, se tiendra les 7 et 8 novembre 2026 au Palais de la Femme, \u00e0 Paris. Innovation Era Press (IEP) y tiendra un stand, o\u00f9 l\u2019auteur du livre, Desolate Isle, sera pr\u00e9sent en personne pour d\u00e9dicacer ses ouvrages aux lecteurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous dans un monde en d\u00e9sordre<\/em> (sous-titre : \u00ab La Chine, l\u2019Am\u00e9rique et la recomposition du monde \u00bb) est un r\u00e9cit de non-fiction \u00e0 la premi\u00e8re personne, qui relate les exp\u00e9riences v\u00e9cues par l\u2019auteur au cours de l\u2019ann\u00e9e \u00e9coul\u00e9e, 2025, \u00e0 travers plus d\u2019une dizaine de pays et de territoires : les \u00c9tats-Unis, la Chine, Duba\u00ef, Barcelone, Singapour, la Malaisie, la Tha\u00eflande, le Vietnam, le Cambodge, Hong Kong (Chine), les Philippines, le Canada et le Japon. L\u2019auteur avait dirig\u00e9 son entreprise pendant de longues ann\u00e9es ; lorsque celle-ci a d\u00fb fermer, emport\u00e9e par le ralentissement \u00e9conomique persistant de la Chine, il est tomb\u00e9 des couches moyennes sup\u00e9rieures de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 pour devenir l\u2019un de \u00ab ceux d\u2019en bas \u00bb. C\u2019est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment cette chute qui lui a permis, tel un \u00ab fil \u00bb, de relier entre elles les personnes crois\u00e9es en chemin \u2014 celles entass\u00e9es dans d\u2019exigu\u00ebs chambres lou\u00e9es, celles enferm\u00e9es dans les prisons pour migrants, celles qui survivent tout en bas, celles qui fuient le d\u00e9sastre, celles que les soubresauts du capital mondial ont soudain enrichies ou ruin\u00e9es \u2014 et de raconter, comme on raconte une histoire, ces destins ordinaires emport\u00e9s par les courants de l\u2019\u00e9poque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce livre n\u2019est pas le commentaire d\u2019un spectateur, mais le t\u00e9moignage v\u00e9ridique d\u2019un homme qui l\u2019a v\u00e9cu, \u00e9crit au c\u0153ur m\u00eame de son errance. On y trouve le r\u00e9cit direct de sa d\u00e9tention dans une prison pour migrants \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re am\u00e9ricano-mexicaine, de l\u2019enqu\u00eate de v\u00e9rification qu\u2019il a subie et de sa comparution devant un tribunal de l\u2019immigration ; on y trouve aussi, \u00e0 travers son double regard d\u2019entrepreneur et d\u2019expert en ing\u00e9nierie des transports, une observation lucide de la confrontation \u00e9conomique sino-am\u00e9ricaine, des guerres tarifaires et technologiques, des \u00ab industries grises \u00bb d\u2019Asie du Sud-Est et des difficult\u00e9s de l\u2019\u00e9conomie priv\u00e9e chinoise. Pour les lecteurs francophones comme anglophones, c\u2019est une fen\u00eatre rare : \u00e0 travers l\u2019\u00ab exil sans faute \u00bb d\u2019un Chinois, comprendre comment la \u00ab guerre aux migrants \u00bb men\u00e9e par l\u2019Am\u00e9rique s\u2019abat sur les gens ordinaires, comment l\u2019affrontement des deux plus grandes \u00e9conomies du monde redessine la plan\u00e8te, et quel est aujourd\u2019hui le v\u00e9ritable visage de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, de l\u2019\u00e9conomie et des march\u00e9s chinois. D\u2019une plume retenue mais pleine d\u2019humanit\u00e9, l\u2019auteur fait descendre les grands bouleversements du monde sur une vie singuli\u00e8re apr\u00e8s l\u2019autre \u2014 une lecture qui est \u00e0 la fois le flux et le reflux d\u2019un destin personnel et une coupe transversale de cette \u00e9poque en d\u00e9sordre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les \u00e9ditions fran\u00e7aise et anglaise sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 disponibles sur de nombreuses plateformes. Un nombre limit\u00e9 d\u2019exemplaires imprim\u00e9s, en fran\u00e7ais et en anglais, seront propos\u00e9s sur place, dans la limite des stocks disponibles. Pour \u00e9viter toute d\u00e9ception, IEP sugg\u00e8re aux lecteurs d\u00e9sireux de poss\u00e9der un exemplaire d\u00e9dicac\u00e9 d\u2019acheter le livre papier en ligne \u00e0 l\u2019avance et de l\u2019apporter au salon le jour m\u00eame, pour une d\u00e9dicace gratuite de l\u2019auteur. Celui-ci sera \u00e9galement pr\u00e9sent au stand pour \u00e9changer en personne avec les lecteurs et partager les exp\u00e9riences et les r\u00e9flexions qui ont nourri son \u00e9criture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
