Submission is a political fiction novel written by Michel Houellebecq, set in France in the near future, in 2022. The plot explores a scenario in which a moderate Islamist leader defeats the National Front candidate in the presidential elections, transforming French society. Through the eyes of François, a university professor, the novel examines the cultural and political changes that arise, including the Islamization of the Sorbonne and the emigration of Jews. The work, which generated controversy for its theme and was published on the same day as the attack on Charlie Hebdo, is a reflection on the decline of Western society and the desire for submission.
