About Flore Vasseur

Flore Vasseur moved to New York at 25 to create her marketing research firm. She experienced the Internet bubble, September 11, and a capitalist system that is cracking at every level.

Since then, she has traveled to analyze societal trends, organized conferences, and produced documentaries and reports for Le Monde, Canal Plus, and Libération.

She is primarily interested in the questions raised by globalization, examining our relationship with consumption, performance, technology, and power.

In her two novels of striking lucidity, “Une fille dans la ville” and “Comment j’ai liquidé le siècle” (currently being adapted for film), she tackles the grip of finance and the madness of a world built on technology. She dissects the business world and meritocracy all the better because she knows them well (she graduated from IEP Grenoble and HEC). She is currently working on her next book, which questions the relationship with power. She is also contributing to two documentaries on women and courage and on the relationship between finance and politics. Her next novel, titled “Classe Affaires,” will be published in January 2013.
