Acide Sulfurique by Amélie Nothomb

In a dystopian reality where a reality TV show takes the form of a concentration camp, participants are randomly selected from the streets and subjected to the whims of the viewing public. The story follows Pannonique, a prisoner who becomes the reluctant star of the show, and Zdena, a guard who is both fascinated and repulsed by her. As the show progresses, the boundaries between entertainment and cruelty blur, raising profound questions about the nature of humanity, the power of media, and the moral responsibilities of both creators and consumers.
