Les éditions Nullius in Verba

Les éditions Nullius in Verba is a French independent publishing house whose catalogue focuses on creativity, innovation, and artificial intelligence. The publisher describes itself through the Latin phrase "Nullius in Verba" — "on the word of no one" — and positions its books as tools for innovators, creators, and dreamers who want to write their own future. Its editorial line is built around the idea that, in the age of AI, creators face a double dispossession: of their expression and of something more. The house answers with books it presents as "weapons" for those who dare to defy the ordinary. The catalogue is organized into thematic collections. "Les artifices de la création" gathers works on AI and creation, including the graphic novel HELO – Le prompt.source (by Flavien Chervet and Nathalie Dupuy), the essay Hyperarme – Anatomie d'une intranquillité planétaire (Flavien Chervet), and the practical manual Hyperprompt – Maîtrisez l'art du prompt engineering (Flavien Chervet). Other series include "Les petits traités sur l'innovation" and "Les viatiques de la créativité", with titles such as Les nécessités de créer, Les Indisciplinés, Les Visages de Métis, Le chasseur, le mage et le cultivateur ou les trois épreuves de l'innovation, and De quoi la créativité est-elle le nom ?. Prices range from around €15 for short treatises to €29 for the prompt-engineering manual. The publisher sells directly through its own online store at nivedition.com, with shipping to metropolitan France and Quebec, and reports that 99% of its deliveries in those markets arrive in under five working days. It also distributes through Amazon, where it advertises an average rating of 4.8/5 across hundreds of reviews for its books. Titles are published in French, in paperback, with cover design credited to Brest Brest Brest for several works. HELO – Le prompt.source, a 108-page anticipation comic about the arrival of artificial superintelligence, is listed as a first edition dated November 2025, while Hyperarme appeared in January 2025 and Hyperprompt in January 2024. As an independent house, Les éditions Nullius in Verba is privately held and does not disclose ownership or leadership details publicly. Its identity is closely tied to author Flavien Chervet, whose name recurs across the flagship titles, and to a niche editorial mission at the intersection of speculative fiction, technology criticism, and practical AI literacy. The publisher's stated ambition is to help readers move from beginner to advanced, professional use of modern AI systems, and to think seriously about the choices humanity faces as superintelligence approaches.

Les éditions Nullius in Verba is a French independent publishing house specializing in essays on creativity, innovation, and artificial intelligence. Its name is taken from the Latin motto "Nullius in Verba" — "on the word of no one" — a phrase historically associated with the Royal Society and with the idea of testing claims rather than accepting authority. The publisher applies that spirit to its editorial line: books presented as tools for innovators, creators, and dreamers who want to write their own future, and as "weapons" for those who dare to defy the ordinary. The house built its catalogue around thematic collections. The most prominent is "Les artifices de la création", dedicated to artificial intelligence and creation. Within it, Hyperprompt – Maîtrisez l'art du prompt engineering, a 248-page practical manual by Flavien Chervet, appeared in January 2024, aiming to move readers from beginner to advanced, professional use of modern AI systems. Hyperarme – Anatomie d'une intranquillité planétaire, a 324-page essay by the same author, followed in January 2025, framing the arrival of superintelligence as a civilizational choice between a "Manhattan Project path" and a "CERN path". HELO – Le prompt.source, a 108-page anticipation comic co-written by Flavien Chervet and Nathalie Dupuy, is listed as a first edition dated November 2025; it follows a researcher whose work on artificial intelligence is overtaken by an American company, against a backdrop of accelerating progress and military interest in AI products. Other series broaden the catalogue beyond AI. "Les petits traités sur l'innovation" and "Les viatiques de la créativité" include titles such as Les nécessités de créer, Les Indisciplinés, Les Visages de Métis, Le chasseur, le mage et le cultivateur ou les trois épreuves de l'innovation, and De quoi la créativité est-elle le nom ?. Prices range from about €15 for the short treatises to €29 for Hyperprompt, with HELO at €24 and Hyperarme at €19. Several covers are credited to the design studio Brest Brest Brest. The publisher sells primarily through its own online store at nivedition.com, with shipping to metropolitan France and Quebec; it states that 99% of its deliveries in those markets arrive in under five working days, and that other countries vary. It also distributes through Amazon, where it advertises an average rating of 4.8/5 across hundreds of reviews for its books. Titles are published in French in paperback. As an independent house, it is privately held and does not publicly disclose ownership or leadership. Its identity remains closely associated with author Flavien Chervet, whose name recurs across the flagship titles, and with a niche mission combining speculative fiction, technology criticism, and practical AI literacy.
