ABSTRACT
Michel Houellebecq's work has become increasingly popular among cultural analysts, sociologists, psychologists, literary critics and others interested in understanding and pinpointing some of the ailments and pathologies of contemporary civilization and many of his books have thus served as windows' to the present as well as to a frightening future. As John McCann has observantly pointed out regarding Houellebecq's writings: There is a very strong link between sociology and literature, particularly in Platforme. Sociology multi-layered scientific discipline that is able to integrate a wide variety of approaches and stances. Not only among sociologists is the potential relevance of literature to the scientific is rarely thought of as a pure discipline. It rather seems to be the fact or something of a truism that sociology is a investigation and understanding of society a matter of discussion and controversy; debate has also surfaced every now and then among literary scholars.
