In one of the most startling, captivating, and clever books in years, Michel Houellebecq blends sensual provocation with a scary image of a civilization on the verge of satiety and fanaticism in his latest masterpiece.
Michel Renault, who is in his early forties, tries to avoid human interaction as much as possible. But when his father passes away, he goes on a group vacation to Thailand, where he meets Valérie, a quiet but endearing travel agent, who starts to resurrect this half-dead man via more bold and intense sex. Platform, written by a guy generally considered as one of the most innovative and adventurous authors in the world, is a magnificent, apocalyptic masterpiece that arcs with dreamy swiftness from Paris to Pattaya Beach and from sex clubs to a terrorist slaughter.
