Crash (Vintage Blue)
Crash - Vintage Blue
Author: J. G. Ballard
The cult status of Crash has intensified since its original publication in 1973, making it a classic of underground literature. In this hallucinatory novel, the car provides the hellish tableau in which Vaughan, a "TV scientist", experiments with erotic atrocities among crash victims, each more sinister than the last.

This was a very graphic and violent dystopian novel but also very powerful. The writing is cold and detached but shows the genius of J. G. Ballard as he points out to us what technology has done to our emotions and humanity. This book is not for the faint of heart as it is a look at modern society in regards to death, dismemberment and sexual fantasy. I do recommend the book though and look forward to exploring more of Ballard's work.
