JG Ballard: his task was warning people




Global warming, consumerism, isolation, alienation, urban violence, he saw it coming. And I agree with him, science fiction is the literature of the 20th century
As a science fiction writer, his task was warning people. 
He didn't see himself as a pessimistic. His characters are in a quest and all of them accomplish something, whatever it may be.
