La ferocia della ragione: Millennium People di J. G. Ballard
di Annalisa Biasci
This paper is a condensed version of my undergraduate dissertation, entitled La ferocia della ragione: Millennium People di J. G. Ballard. It is an analysis of the novel, which depicts a middle-class uprising in the heart of contemporary London. It discusses how the British writer, by envisioning a dystopian scenario, encourages the reader to reflect on themes such as urban violence, the triviality of consumer society, and the dangers of totally suppressing human instincts.
