Houellebecq will go down in history as being a prescient prophet of his era, as well as writing beautiful (if not dark and edgy) literature.

The day Soumission was supposed to be published, Charlie Hebdo planned to release a biting satire of Houellebecq that made him look like an out-of-touch racist curmudgeon. It never got published in time, because that day, Charlie Hebdo headquarters was attacked by Islamic terrorists, who executed several satirists in cold blood. If that's not cosmic irony, I don't know what is.

The people of the future will look back in horror and schadenfreude that we allowed this insane mentality to persist for so long (probably CCP historians).
