...reciprocal nonaggression treaty. But more dominating in the country's post-talk rant was its sense of "betrayal." How or by whom, Pyongyang's official mouthpiece didn't elaborate. But frictions between North Korea and China have ratcheted up lately as the North seeks nuclear arms against Beijing's explicit wishes. The two communist nations were once so close that China sent troops to defend North Korea against the U.S. military. Now, Beijing appears to have stronger ties with capitalist America.

...very explicit coupling, nothing in Platform is written with a smirk. Michel believes that only the body is to be trusted, its pleasures the only reliable refuge. Capitalism he's resigned to. Religion he thinks of as a fool's game that leads to murderous fundamentalisms. The book ends with a terrorist attack at a Thai resort and some especially nasty passages about Muslims--the grieving Michel describes his pleasure at any news of pregnant Palestinian women being killed...
