«Plataforma» is the contemporary fiction novel by Michel Houellebecq, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Michel, a Parisian civil servant, travels to Thailand after his father's death and immerses himself in sex tourism. There he meets Valérie and together they create a worldwide network of tourist resorts where prostitution is legal. The initial success is cut short by a tragedy. The novel ironically critiques the erotic cynicism of consumer society.
