Violent rebellion comes to London's middle classes.
Klappentext zu „Millennium People “
Violent rebellion comes to London's middle classes. Like every obedient professional, I arrived punctually for my appointment with a revolution.
When a bomb explosion at Heathrow airport kills psychologist David Markham's ex-wife, he sets out on a journey to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death. As he infiltrates a shadowy group of middle-class revolutionaries based in the comfortable Chelsea Marina, Markham soon finds himself swept up in a bourgeois insurrection that is sending the capital into panic.

Rezension zu „Millennium People “
'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

'Unsettling and subversive ... terrifically good' Sunday Times 'Terrifying and strangely haunting ... A riveting work from a writer of rare imaginative largesse, a bearer of bad tidings, unforgettably told' Daily Telegraph
'Wonderfully warped, blackly comic ... written with Ballard's customary panache, its potent mix of sex, violence and radicalism will keep his fans happy' Economist
'Ballard's instinct for the future is unnerving ... Very few writers possess this kind of intelligence: to use it with such wit is almost criminal' Independent on Sunday
'The terrifying thing about Ballard is his logic; is this science fiction or history written ahead of its time?' Len Deighton
