I have never enjoyed snow as much as some people. Any pleasure I found in it disappeared after 4 Minnesota winters. These Ballard novels have always felt like perfect companions. "Drowned World" is set in London following the polar ice caps melting & sea levels rising. London is essentially a tropical lagoon & it is unsafe to be outside during the day due to excessive heat. "Hello America" follows an expedition ?
vivastory That lands in Manhattan & is traveling to the west coast. America has been turned into a giant desert due to an nergy crisis. Both books are post apocalyptic works with a lot of social commentary that can be found in Ballard's work. 8y
