J.G. Ballard

7 Series

J.G. Ballard was an English author known for his contributions to the New Wave of science fiction. He gained fame with his novel "The Drowned World" and later wrote the semi-autobiographical "Empire of the Sun," which depicts a young British boy's experiences in Shanghai during the Japanese occupation. Ballard passed away in 2009.

In J.G. Ballard's "Crash," Robert Vaughan, a former TV scientist turned obsessive figure, navigates the dangerous intersection of violence and eroticism on the expressway. He gathers alienated crash victims and engages in increasingly sinister autoerotic experiments. Vaughan's ultimate goal is to orchestrate a fatal, head-on collision that blends blood, semen, engine coolant, and celebrity. This shocking novel explores the dark fusion of technology and human desire, pushing the boundaries of transgression.
