Book Review
Michel Houellebecq's «Atomised» is a profound and provocative novel that explores themes of alienation, sexuality, and scientific progress. Critics note that Houellebecq masterfully combines philosophical reflections with harsh social critique. The main characters, two half-brothers, represent opposing approaches to life: one is a successful scientist, the other a struggling teacher. Their stories intertwine, creating a bleak portrait of modern society. The book evokes strong emotions and prompts reflection on the future of humanity. Some critics argue that Houellebecq is excessively cynical and pessimistic, but most acknowledge his talent for creating vivid and memorable characters.
