"J.G. BALLARD: I think the key image of the 20th century is the man in the motor car. It sums up everything: the elements of speed, drama, aggression, the junction of advertising and consumer goods with the technological landscape. The sense of violence and desire, power and energy; the shared experience of moving together through an elaborately signalled landscape."

JG Ballard was a hack. He was nothing more than a third rate fetishist with arrested sexual development. He was as about as laudable as an author as L Ron Hubbard.
