Her first novel, "Les morues", sold 100,000 copies, extending the success of her blog Girls and geeks , where her favorite subjects remained sex and the Internet (of which she became a specialist, with her "Encyclopedia of the web culture "). Titiou Lecoq is also a graduate in semiology. Here, we follow the adventures of three characters in 2006, then nine years later, according to the upheavals of the Web and their lives. A 19-year-old blogger confronted with the revenge of a lover swinging their sex tape on YouPorn, a thirty-year-old struggling with the jungle of journalism 2.0, and a young hacker ready to do anything to play the Zorro. This novel of a virtual and carnal generation, sparkling with life, scrutinizes with affection and lucidity their - and our - way of adapting. Or not.

MC: The "theory" of bread is that it always falls on the wrong side. Are you cautious or freaked out?

Titiou Lecoq: Paradoxical. I make brain knots because I have not pulled out the laundry from the machine ... and I will be relaxed for a major appointment. This is inversely proportional to the importance of things. That said, I am nevertheless panicked by the publication of this novel.

Your characters are 100% web, and you are a specialist. Accro, you too?

With the years, less and less. Except in exceptional cases like the attacks where I was connected 24 hours a day. But otherwise, I switch to mistrust and nostalgia of the Internet before, less commercial. #I'm getting old

In this book, it talks about the "dark web". What is it?

The sewers of Internet. Sites on which there is no censorship, for better or for worse, from Anonymous to the wildest harassment. But it is increasingly framed by law. We move away from the old spirit of the Web.

Your novel, your blog talk a lot about sex and YouPorn ...

The relationship to sex has changed profoundly in a few decades, it has become an object of consumption. An evolution that is studied relatively little. I'm interested in whether we can be a feminist and watch porn.

So ... can we?

Yes. Many women look at it. And like them, like many feminists of my generation, it happens to me, without a bad conscience. It is a paradox that we manage. The same goes for a lot of men my age, whose mothers were feminists, who are also feminists, and do not refrain from looking at them sometimes.
