"Only archaic savages remain of the human race after the climate catastrophe. And the neo-human also survived - cloned and immortal. Daniel24 is a twenty-fourth generation neo-human who looks back to his genetic prototype Daniel1. This Daniel1 was a person of our time: He was a comedian and a cynical, sharp observer of a society that had long since broken all taboos. But his life with the beautiful Isabelle wasn't enough for him. In "The Possibility of an Island", Michel Houellebecq frees himself from the present and delivers a radical draft of a future in which humanity has finished itself off."--
