Isn't Houellebecq like a marketing guy? He senses some of the great disillusionments of our time - lack of sex, internet addiction, male loneliness, gluttony, out of control technology and simply churns out novels with these themes. Of course he is talented and clever.

The family drama is over now. Back to political intrigue and machinations. A revival of romance with Paul's wife Prudence also.

References to Lord of the Rings which I have not read and hardly remember the movies. And to the Matrix which I have not rewatched. Protagonist has no interest in Nirvana or Kurt Cobain whom he liked in his youth. Does not like Radiohead anymore either.

Too much time spent with the main character Paul's father. Repetitive scenes with the sister and her husband. But the political mystery is intriguing.

Many moments that make you gulp as the main protagonist visits his father who is in a coma and him and his Catholic sister have sort of a friendly back and forth about life and belief in god. Also an intriguing political and technological thriller.
