Millenium People

J.G. Ballard

Medium Paperback

Curly corners
Because he wants to know the truth about the attack that claimed the life of his ex-wife, psychologist David Markham infiltrates an underground movement curiously based in the affluent residential area of the "Marina de Chelsea". Under the aegis of a charismatic doctor, this small group seeks to awaken the middle classes from their torpor and free them from their so-called servitude. Markham soon found himself embroiled in a series of brilliant actions that took on alarming proportions when the very symbols of bourgeois England were targeted and the revolt in the capital was made... By denouncing the brutality and emptiness of our lives, Millennium People returns to Ballard's favorite themes: media myths and the crisis of the affluent society. A masterful and prophetic novel, full of madness, darkness and humor.
