This really suffers from a poor translation. While technically correct, as far as I know, it desperately needs an actual prose writer to go back over the workmanship-like translation and mix in some style. This reads like a technical manual and has so many wasted words and commas it's a slog. Sadly Houellebecq's translators have gotten progressively worse since the Map and the Territory (2011), which was still good.
