Yeah. Ballards one of the most original voices in contemporary literature, and yet some hack borrows a scene from 'Apocalypse Now' for this documentary. Ah well, Ballards still ace.

Good writer, but ... ( 1 month ago by amaxamon)
Good writer, but his world-view is not very convincing. The new tyrants ARE coming out of the literal desert & jungle. Sorry, it is simply a fact. Not out of shopping malls. Screaming kids and fat Americans come out of shopping malls, not global tyrants.
A visionary writer, ... ( 1 month ago by GabrielNeil21)
A visionary writer, but something about his style sometimes annoys me - I think it's his obsession with psychoanalysis. I started off with his most recent book "Kingdom Come" and I thought it was genius - I always found those shopping-centre towns quite disturbing. At the same time, I think his view of humanity is too simplistic. In some ways I think Will Self follows on from him by creating a more complex picture of humanity.
