There is a long reflexive tradition that demonstrates the dream’s premonitory capacities. However, there is little research done on literature’s capacities to predict the future. Pierre Bayard started to write a trilogy about literary and artistic anticipation 10 years ago – Demain est écrit (2005), Le Plagiat par anticipation (2009), Le Titanic fera naufrage (2016) — assuming a scientific approach, without judgement, and collecting the highest number of reliable documents so as to arrive at an informed opinion about the matter. The author suggests to revisit his three books showing their argument with some examples. Secondly, to appreciate the premonition phenomenons, Bayard studies different assumptions in order to think their consequences on our personal lives and collective organisation.
