'Anti-Matter surveys the case for pessimism, asks how a mass culture rooted in sentimentality and trivialisation manages to produce so much cynicism and apathy...' Answers its own societal charge right there. Might be interesting.

There's a short piece by Ben Jeffrey on Houellebecq here:

I've seen Houellebecq book of poetry kicking around before, but after a quick flick through decided against buying it. Anyone read the whole thing?

"The map is not the territory." - Alfred Korzybski. Wonder if that's where he lifted the title from.

Book is released in the US on January 3rd. I'll be reading it.
