«Extension du domaine de la lutte» is the novel by Michel Houellebecq, published by J'ai lu in paperback (155 pages, in French).
A middle-aged computer scientist narrates his routine at a software company and observes with irony the banal chatter around the coffee machines. The assignment to install a program in the provinces broadens the protagonist's field of observation, confronts him with a tormented colleague, and leads him to sketch a theory of economic and sexual liberalism.
Originally published in 1994, this French edition from J'ai lu (2010) reproduces the complete text; the cover photograph is by Lynn James (Getty Images).
For readers interested in contemporary French fiction and in Houellebecq's critical view of individualism and consumer society.
