In a disturbing future dominated by clones who have paid for immortality with the loss of emotions, Daniel24 and Daniel25 discover the diaries of Daniel1, famous for his caustic monologues. Through these diaries, Daniel25 learns about the last years of Daniel1, and the discovery of his pain puts the dream of immortality of his creators at risk. Winner of the Interallié Prize, this novel is a reflection on life, desire, and loss, with the irreverent pen of Michel Houellebecq creating a world dangerously similar to our own.
