Millennium People by J G Ballard
Violent rebellion comes to Londons middle classes in the extraordinary new novel from the author of Cocaine Nights and Super-Cannes.‘Wonderfully warped, blackly comic…written with Ballard’s customary panache, its potent mix of sex, violence and radicalism will keep his fans happy“Millennium People” is at once deadly serious and slightly ridiculous – and somehow all the more unsettling for it.’ Economist
‘Much of the fun of “Millennium People” – and it is one of the most amusing novels I’ve read in a long time – comes from watching as the world finally catches up with Ballard and Ballard, wryly, reacts.’ Guardian
‘Terrifying and strangely haunting…A riveting work from a writer of rare imaginative largesse, a bearer of bad tidings, unforgettably told.’ Daily Telegraph
J.G. Ballard was born in 1930 in Shanghai, where his father was a businessman. After internment in a civilian prison camp, he and his family returned to England in 1946. His 1984 bestseller Empire of the Sun won the Guardian Fiction Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. It was later filmed by Steven Spielberg. His controversial novel Crash was also made into an equally controversial film by David Cronenberg. His most recent novels are the Sunday Times bestsellers Cocaine Nights and Super-Cannes.
