Platform (novel) Platform (French: "Plateforme" ) is a 2001 novel by French writer Michel Houellebecq (translated into English by Frank Wynne). It has received both great praise and great criticism, most notably for the novel's apparent condoning of sex tourism and anti-Muslim feelings. Houellebecq was charged for inciting racial and religious hatred after describing Islam as "stupid", but the charges were ultimately dismissed.
