Descendance - Volume I

Olscar Borcan

Olscar Borcan was born on December 17th, 1964, in Lisbon (Portugal).

He arrived in France during the late 1970's to escape Salazar's dictatorship.

He is the eldest of four siblings. He considers himself to be self-taught, since he stopped his studies after obtaining a technical high school diploma.

His career path follows the movement of new technologies.

A journey strewn with difficulties due to his lack of qualifications and his Portuguese nationality.

He made progress thanks to various opportunities, and reached the position of IT manager, which he kept for almost 10 years, within an Anglo-Saxon investment bank.

Since the 2008 stock market crash impacted his job, he decided to redeploy as a project manager.

He came across an old 20-pages manuscript he had started when he was 15. An idea which had been blossoming for a while in his mind, and encouraged him to start a new novel.

This first novel, « Descendance », is unpretentious. Its purpose is to immerge the reader into the post- Darwinism world, including notions of Transhumanism.
