I had almost forgotten what it is to read a Houellebecq novel or maybe this one is a bit different. Incredibly erudite, abundant with scientific facts, rich in cultural references, perhaps purposefully researched in detail. Yet vulgar and blunt. Tempted to say nihilistic, but I'd rather trust the author's stance is reflected in the regret felt after the moral wander of his characters and their zeitgeist.

Съвпадението между предвижданията на еволюционистите и това, което се случва, би могло да бъде случайно. Учените обичат да си разказват следния анекдот: "Един човек откъсва краката на бълха, за да провери теорията си, че ушите на бълхите са на краката им. После нарежда на бълхата да скочи, но тя не скача. Заключението му е, че теорията е вярна - ушите на бълхата са на краката."

The far Left has never gotten over communism and once again demonstrates that its true passion is not freedom, but slavery in the name of justice.

"Most sociopolitical hierarchies lack a logical or biological basis - they are nothing but the perpetuation of chance events supported by myths."
