Description:

Nath is a genius; Tanguy an idiot. Any such extremes disturb people. In recognition of this fact, a pharmaceutical corporation is undertaking experiment with a new drug, “normality pills”, that would move them both toward the norm. It is decided to put them in contact using e-mail exchanges. Those responsible for the experiment will monitor the exchanges. So a deep friendship evolves between two individuals who normally would never have even met. Their dialogue is moving right up to the terrifying conclusion. One of the themes of the narrative is the loneliness of the extremes.

When I have seen this book, my reaction was "that's what I woul have liked to write".
It shows the real communication problems among very different people. A great human job.
That's what is the problem for very different people.
Thanks!

I understand your point (although I don't have an extremely high or low IQ, probably about 120), but unfortunately I think that society cannot function without differences. Who would accept to work as a cleaner for example in a world where all people have the same IQ? And without geniuses we wouldn't have many inventions....
Differences are unfair and disturbing, but somehow necessary, like yin and yang they complement each other....
Good luck.

I think this book is very interesting and describes a real situation which is often overlooked by "normal" people. I liked this book.

I really liked this book.
It's a perfect description of what loneliness can be for intelligent people. I'm not sure I'm intelligent, but I remember some parts of my life really connected to this great book. Thanks Albert and Muriel for writing it.
