Millennium People – J.G. Ballard



Offensively useless. Why would anyone read about a fictional uprising in Chelsea? I mean: Chelsea, of all places?!? Maybe the book targets an upper middle class that is looking for portrayals of its destructive power and potential (or maybe not: the quote on the front cover comes from the Daily Mail), but why this should be considered interesting is just beyond me. This is a pathetic excuse for a sensational book. I’ve never read anything else by Ballard. And I simply never will. Life is too short to read stuff like this.
