Daniel25, neo-humans become immortal through cloning and various genetic manipulations, becoming aware of the autobiography Daniel1, last human he is distant reproduction. Daniel1 loved, suffered throughout its existence rather special. Lover of two women (Isabelle who did not really like sex and Esther did not really like love), a successful and wealthy celebrity comedian, he witnessed the rise of the sect of the waiting Elohimites return of aliens and promise immortality to their followers through new cloning techniques. Two millennia later, Daniel25, lives in complete solitude with only companion her dog Fox, nth avatar that of Daniel1. He knows neither envy nor desire, nor love and lives in a kind of permanent contemplation favored by the disappearance of food needs and the sexual instinct. Is it happy so far? In this masterful book, Michel Houellebecq describes a disturbing present and future uninviting. Never his eyes were as sharp and as hopeless. All the problems and pitfalls of our society are discussed and analyzed without any complex issues of love freed of procreation, the inevitable decline of religion (Houellebecq does not forget Islam), the world of disenchantment The inevitable return to barbarism, the cult of youth, suffering from old age and many other current fads. Visionary work of iconoclastic philosopher and moralist, this book is in my opinion the best of the author. Essential for the understanding of our world and get an idea of what the future holds'
