It’s October in Montreal, 2002, and winter is coming on fast.

Trent'anni, analista programmatore in una società di servizi informatici, il protagonista di questo romanzo conduce un'esistenza indifferente. Il lavoro, i viaggi d'affari, le prigioni dell'amore e del sesso, l'assenza di qualsiasi sentimento che non sia di insofferenza verso se stesso, lo scivolare lento e inesorabile in uno stato di insensibilità dal quale sembra non esserci via d'uscita. In una lingua affilata e gelida, che più volte costeggia i territori di tragedie innominabili, Michel Houellebecq compone un romanzo epocale, una educazione alla non-vita, alla noia, all'indifferenza.
