I’m Ploum, a writer alternating between a bépo keyboard and old mechanical typewriters on which I imagine our futures. My latest novel, Bikepunk, is available in every good (French-speaking) book store. Without a keyboard, you can find me underwater or on a bike. As « Lionel Dricot », I pretend to be respectable to teach software freedom at École Polytechnique de Louvain.
