* RealityEnsues: One of the key points of Le vide: After the contestants on the reality TV show Living to the Max have done their stunt or had their greatest dream come true, they felt the emptiness inside, with certainty that they would never be able to achieve anything so great ever again, and thus they all feel depressed. The cases depicted go the extra mile; a feminist wanting to prove women can be better than men defeats a whole lot of men on a ring, and then gets attacked after the show by a bunch of men who rape her and cut her. She ends up committing suicide. A less extreme example from the same book has a couple getting to have sex with a pornstar; the man's father applauds and congratulates his son, while the woman's parents wonder, with a touch of sadness, where did they fail in their education for their daughter to turn out like this.
