Description: The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description From one of the most powerful and original talents in science fiction comes the story of a new world—a strange world where solar radiation fluctuations have melted the polar ice caps, flooding the land and raising the temperature of the atmosphere. Publisher Description In the novel that catapulted him to international acclaim upon its publication in 1962, J.G. Ballards mesmerizing and ferociously prescient The Drowned World imagines a terrifying future in which solar radiation and global warming has melted the ice caps, and Triassic-era jungles have overrun a submerged and tropical London. Set during the year 2145, the novel follows biologist Dr. Robert Kerans and his team of scientists as they confront a surreal cityscape populated by giant iguanas, albino alligators, and endless swarms of malarial insects. Nature has swallowed all but a few remnants of human civilization, and slowly, Kearns and his companions are transformed--both physically and psychologically--by this prehistoric environment. The Drowned World is both a thrilling adventure and haunting examination of the effects of environmental collapse on the human mind. Author Biography J.G.
