Tl;dr The Elementary Particles by Houllebecq
(Since I don’t think I’ll get around to a proper post on this, briefly:) Some truly cold, post-social era scientist dude (ruined by his childhood) bumps through life and relationships as an ogre. The people-scale storytelling is insightful but also

Tl;dr of Submission, by Michel Houellebecq
Living briefly in Paris in 2002-2003 I learned about Houellebecq, a loudmouth badboy intellectual novelist whom I decided never to read. A friend exhorted me to read his novel Submission, though, and I eventually yielded. You should probably read it

Bad stuff in the cards. However I have now set my policy, appointed my cabinet, and prepared my transition team to take office. I hope you will join me and remind me to stay true to our objectives, to protect
