Author: BALLARD, J G
A prophetic and experimental masterpiece by J. G. Ballard, the acclaimed author of ‘Crash’ and ‘Super-Cannes’, featuring an introduction by Hari Kunzru.
"The human organism is an atrocity exhibition at which he is an unwilling spectator …"
As the protagonist spirals into the depths of a nervous breakdown, his dreams are haunted by vivid and unsettling images:
- John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe
- Astronauts
- Car-crash victims
A kaleidoscopic scrapbook of mass culture unfolds in his mind, fixating on the consumerism of the modern world. This hallucinatory obsession explores themes of:
- Celebrity
- Media
- Sex
- Violence
With the media infiltrating every corner of our psyche, the narrative raises a provocative question: Have the lines blurred between fiction and reality?
