Atomised, also known as The Elementary Particles (French: Les Particules élémentaires), is a novel by the French author Michel Houellebecq, published in France in 1998. It tells the story of two half-brothers, Michel and Bruno, and their mental struggles against their situations in modern society. It was translated into English by Frank Wynne as Atomised in the UK and as The Elementary Particles in the US. It won the International Dublin Literary Award for writer and translator.
it's so sad to read a book like this. A book where the author hates everything and everybody. The only way that he found to fix everything is to create a new specie. I haven't enjoyed anything of this book. I only managed to finish it because I'm on holidays.
