In the U.S. Mr. Ballard's Millenium People was just published. The narrative tells of a middle-class revolt. (His other work also reflects this concept) I feel strongly that events in the U.S. and presently in the U.K. are foreshadowed in Mr. Ballard's writing. Oddly, I think the crazyness in the U.S. is closer in spirit to what Ballard was writing about. Clearly he was channelling something and we ignore it at our peril.

Interestingly enough I was having a wee natter with the guy who runs the Ballardian site only a cple of days ago about all this and my feeling that his books shld of been used as a map for some of the disturbances...
