"Replies 2020" is a collection of articles and interviews by Michel Houellebecq spanning three decades. The author of the global bestsellers "The Elementary Particles," "Platform," "Submission," and "Serotonin" speaks here in the first person. In these deep, sharp, sometimes caustic texts, he evaluates current events, formulates his conclusions, and makes predictions for the future.

The book includes his philosophical and political essays, notes on cinema and literature, discussions about his own work, responses to critics, as well as reflections on writers and philosophers, religion, feminism and self-isolation, jazz and Donald Trump, euthanasia and tourism. In France, Houellebecq's "Replies" has been published as separate books three times (1998, 2011, 2020), each time enriched with new media appearances by the writer. Articles from the first two were published in Russian in the collections "The World as a Supermarket" (2003) and "Humanity, Stage 2" (2011).

This edition includes all three collections in their entirety, presenting the views on the modern world of one of the most widely read French authors.
