I picked it up because Houellebecq's reinterpretation was so interesting that I thought the original book can't be bad - how can a dystopia that features every nightmare of a healthy modern individual (except maybe for the sex) end up being laughable and quickly forgettable? That's the thing, I wasn't even under any authoritarian pressure to study it (oh the pun) such as 90% of the commentaries here. But once I looked past the Orwellian theme, I was left with speeches almost as long as Rand's, passionless discussion almost as unrealistic as a Federation conference, and a Robinson Cruise ending.
