To Bernard Stiegler
An essential voice of contemporary thought has passed away. I had the immense honor and good fortune to cross paths with Bernard Stiegler in recent years. This book was discussed at our last dinner together shortly before his death. How can I not remember this charming moment. Bernard Stiegler could be tough and passionate when it came to intellectual debate. He could not stand mediocrity of thought. But in the more intimate space, he had a gentleness, a deep and warm strength, a radiant richness resulting from an extraordinary career. We had shared this intense meal with a common friend: Paul Jorion. At the end, I drove him back to his hotel. As he opened the door, he turned to me and said: “Read or reread, dear Pierre, the two sources of morality and religion by Bergson. Concentrate on the last chapter, which talks about mysticism and mechanics. As soon as it's done, we'll organize a lunch in Paris.” I found it in my library and read it in a week. The lunch will never happen or maybe it will...

Foreword
It has been a great pleasure and honor to work with Pierre Giorgini and the Catholic University of Lille during his tenure. Pierre is not only a well-known and well-respected author on the subject of the contributing society, he is also a highly committed actor of this revolution, in particular in the pedagogical field. And it is this point that I would like to highlight in this Foreword.
Pierre has been a pioneer in both Hauts-de-France and Europe. He brought together the faculty and student body, and began to establish a roadmap for how they could transition the Catholic University of Lille into a fully operational Third Industrial Revolution smart digital infrastructure that would combine communication, renewable electricity, mobility and logistics in a single platform. It is an extraordinary accomplishment, but as far as I am concerned, what is equally interesting is his method for transforming pedagogy and curriculum.
The most important thing is how we rethink the mission of a university. Clearly, Pierre set up the infrastructure to rely on solar energy. The university now has a smart digital infrastructure, allowing the school to go off grid and be able to have zero marginal cost solar energy.
What is particularly interesting is that his accomplishment has come with a change in mindset. What he saw was the necessity of preparing young people for a more distributed, laterally scaled education which was more in line with the infrastructure that was installed.
For example, students at the Catholic University of Lille have increasingly learned in teams. And with these teams, each student has to take responsibility in sharing knowledge with each other as a collective experience.
Not only do students learn in teams where they teach each other, but this new approach to learning also encourages teachers to collaborate across disciplines,
