Robert Stark and Matt Pegas discuss the significance of French author Michel Houellebecq to the current zeitgeist, and his novels Atomised, Whatever, Platform, Submission, and Serotonin.
Topics include Houellebecq’s early “loser” status, achieving success later in life, auto-biographical themes in his work, French archetypes and cultural themes, Houellebecq’s "Incel Prophecy," his comparison of the sexual marketplace to free-market economics, and his lack of explicit political solutions. Also discussed are Transhumanism and Geomaxxing as escapes from the post-modern predicament, and Robert and Matt's upcoming novels which deal with similar themes to Houellebecq’s work.
