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.

"Re: Your review of NATAN"
Hello,
Thanks for your comments. There is a problem: You write "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."
Of course I agree with you, and my book never says that differences are not indispensable. Have you read the book? An horrible "business racket" tries to equalize everyone, and this leads to the communication between the two characters...and they stay totally different.
Best regards,
Albert

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.

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.
