Marty (1955) is categorised as a "romantic drama" film. I do not necessarily disagree, but I think the film may also be viewed another way.
So far, all of Houellebecq's novels I have read follow the same basic plot. Plateforme is not really any different to Les Particules élémentaires, and even in Extension du domaine de la lutte one can see the same pattern—although in a raw, experimental form.
"Atomised" is the second novel written by Michel Houellebecq. To me, it shares its theme with Whatever—Houellebecq's first novel—but explores it in more depth and from a different angle.
