{"product_id":"atomised","title":"Atomised","description":"\u003cp\u003eHalf-brothers Michel and Bruno have a mother in common but little else. Michel is a molecular biologist, a thinker, an idealist, a man with no erotic life to speak of and little in the way of human society. Bruno, by contrast, is a libertine, though more in theory than in practice, his endless lust being all too rarely reciprocated. Both are symptomatic members of our atomised society, where religion has given way to shallow 'new age' philosophies and love to meaningless sexual connections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAtomised tells the stories of the two brothers, but the real subject of the novel is the dismantling of contemporary society and its assumptions, its political incorrectness, and its caustic and penetrating asides on everything from anthropology to the problem pages of girls' magazines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/michel-houellebecq-books\"\u003eMichel Houellebecq\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780099283362\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.50","offer_id":47909001855153,"sku":"SB-0099283360-C3","price":1.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.00","offer_id":47909001887921,"sku":"SB-0099283360-C4","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0099283360.jpg?v=1789152597","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/atomised","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
