ABSTRACT
This chapter defines the contemporary as a relation to our epoch that is mainly the result of "fictional habitations". A "habitat" is "the natural environment in which an animal or a plant usually lives and grows". In other words, fictional habitations are now the "natural" environment in which humans and non-humans in the 21st century, live and grow. The "habitat" designed by all those layers of fictions is one that is expected to fill us with "more life", "more experience". The very "habitat" that was conceived, in the first place, to offer a shelter, a home, is now filled with content that is putting us at stake, throwing us in the inside-outside flow of fiction. One of the key concepts in neuroscience is "neuronal plasticity". This plasticity refers to the neuronal network's endless changes under the impulse of electric stimulations.
