FIAT VERITAS PEREAT MUNDUS: Let truth prevail, though the world perish

FIAT VERITAS, PEREAT MUNDUS Let truth be done, even if the world must perish. This is not a novel. It is not an essay. It is a witness. From the burning of Notre-Dame to the glass cathedrals of Silicon Valley, La Table Rouge offers a profound spiritual and political reading of our time. Bertrand Scholler examines a world where power no longer governs—it performs; where technology no longer serves—it replaces meaning; and where language itself is emptied by images, data, and procedure. Blending prophecy, investigation, and poetic testimony, Scholler traces the invisible forces shaping modern civilization: the rise of algorithmic authority, the moralization of power, the transformation of faith into management, and the substitution of truth by simulation. Politics, technology, and religion are revealed not as separate domains, but as fronts in a deeper struggle—the struggle for meaning. Neither manifesto nor sermon, La Table Rouge stands on the fault line between collapse and redemption. It speaks to readers who sense that something essential has been lost, and who refuse to accept a future where humanity becomes a function of its machines. A work of spiritual resistance in the age of artificial power. A warning—and an act of faith. Fiat Veritas, Pereat Mundus stands apart from slogans and ready-made positions. Its writing seeks a deeper coherence — one that reconnects facts, time, and meaning. This book is not meant to reassure. It speaks to those who understand that truth is a commitment — and that it always comes at a cost. Bertrand Scholler writes from the edge. Trained in science, economics, and geopolitics, he has spent more than forty years observing the spaces where power falls silent and narratives are manufactured.
