It is 2027. France is in a state of economic decline and moral decay.
As the country plunges into a closely-fought presidential campaign, the
French state falls victim to a series of mysterious and unsettling
cyberattacks. The sophisticated nature of the attacks leaves the best
computer scientists at the DGSI – the French counter-terrorism agency –
scrambling for answers.
An advisor to the country’s Finance Minister, Paul Raison is close to
the heart of government. His wife Prudence is a Treasury official,
while his father Édouard, now retired, has spent his career working for
the DGSI. When Édouard has a stroke, his children have an opportunity
to repair their strained relationships, as they determine to free their
father from the medical centre where he is wasting away.
Michel Houellebecq’s Annihilation reveals new sides to his writing,
adding compassion and tenderness to the emotions of rage and irony that
have powered both him and his earlier works to international fame.
Translated from the French by Shaun Whiteside
