Sulphuric Acid by Amélie Nothomb
Some time in the future, audiences have tired of traditional reality television shows. One channel decides to try something new and ‘Concentration’ - the reality television death camp - is born.

Participants for the show are rounded up and loaded onto cattle trucks, among them the beautiful young woman Pannonique. When Pannonique is delivered to the death camp and the cameras are turned on, she unknowingly becomes a media star, but she soon understands that her situation is all too real . . .

A huge bestseller in Nothomb’s adopted France, Sulphuric Acid is a blackly funny, shocking and provocative satire on our modern obsession with reality television and celebrity.
