Happy Birthday, J.G. Ballard

“The consumer society hungers for the deviant and unexpected.
What else can drive the bizarre shifts in the entertainment
landscape that will keep us ‘buying’? Psychopathy is the only
engine powerful enough to light our imaginations, to drive the
arts, sciences and industries of the world.”

(From “Super-Cannes”; Ballard was born on this day in
1930)
