Texte-gigogne en trois parties, Pig Boy 1986-2358 traverse trois temps, trois registres de langues, trois réalités, trois virtualités. La première partie raconte l'histoire d'un jeune éleveur de porc français en proie a` la crise agricole des années 2010 et qui se rêve Cow-Boy pluto^t que Pig Boy. La deuxième imagine Pig Boy en porc-star de la marque de jambon PERTA et descendant direct d'un des porcs de cet éleveur breton. Il est accuse´ d'avoir copule´ avec une fan japonaise, et se retrouve sous le feux des projecteurs a` l'occasion d'un procès médiatique virtuel ou` le public peut décider de son sort. La troisième partie propose une échappée vers un futur onirique. Nous sommes dans la tête d'une truie qui s'évade d'une maternité´ dans laquelle elle mettait bas a` des bébés humains. C'est l'histoire de sa fuite vers la forêt ? et c'est l'histoire de la réconciliation des trois histoires ou` bêtes et hommes se cherchent une raison d'être, au milieu des flux technologiques et de la montée du transhumanisme. Quitte à inventer une nouvelle espèce ?

"Carefully! O, do be careful, Ethel Brown! I'm so afraid I'll drop one of them!" It was Ethel Blue Morton speaking to her cousin, who was helping her and their other cousin, Dorothy Smith, take Dicky Morton's newly hatched chickens out of the incubator and put them into the brooder. "I have dropped one," exclaimed Dorothy. "Poor little dinky thing! It didn't hurt it a bit, though. See, it's running about as chipper as ever." "Are you counting 'em?" demanded Dicky, whose small hands were better suited than those of the girls for making the transfer that was to establish the chicks in their new habitation. "Yes," answered all three in chorus. "Here's one with a twisted leg. He must have fallen off the tray when he was first hatched." cried Ethel Brown. "He lookth pretty well. I gueth he'll live if I feed him by himthelf tho the throng ones won't crowd him away from the feed panth," said Dicky, examining the cripple, for in spite of his small supply of seven years he had learned from his big brother Roger and from his grandfather Emerson a great deal about the use of an incubator and the care of young chickens.
