Life Imitates Art?
Michel Houellebech's " Platform" was very controversial for both it's steamy adult scenes and for being offense to Islam. Interestingly enough he wrote it pre 9/11, and the basic gist is Westerners despite better technology and living standards are less happy than their Third World counterparts because they get less sex, but the biggest threat to civilization is the sexually frustrated Islamic male. Interestingly enough the book foreshadowed global Islamic terror attacks like Bali and 9/11.
