Houellebecq also noted that the West does not have the divine right to be the richest and most developed area in the world. Although, he thinks it is not surprising, because it has not been like that for a long time. According to the writer, even the mortality figures are a good reflection of the world as we know it.

France did better than Spain and Italy, but not as well as Germany. There are no big surprises.

Houellebecq also complained that he was unable to walk more than a mile from his home due to strict French regulations.

The writer has to walk
