The Possibility of an Island - Michel Houellebecq
What if you had the possibility of eternal life?
Not continuously, but you are cloned and your past lives are available to you. But with this eternal life, comes eternal isolation from everyone else, communicating only through electronic means.
A depressing book. Where a man loses hope, and becomes extremely cynical, never knowing happiness, and where the only happiness he found destroys him.
Not for the depressed. 3 out of 5
