@subscooby He is not saying sex does not happen, is is explaining that it is no longer a big deal.

leaning towards the nurture over nature premise. What Ballard witnessed as a kid would fuck over anyone's psyche

@davevicks12 He was very fond of Naked Lunch by Burroughs, I know that. He was also a fan of de Sade and Will Self.

It's really interesting what Ballard says here, although I'm not sure I'm with him on the point about sex 'not happening anymore', because I think it doesn't really account through the proliferation of pornography through technology, or the sale of 'I want to be a WAG when I grow up' t-shirts to young girls.

Like McLuhan, Ballard found an eternal voice for himself and so he'll always be with us, lucidly exposing the failings of the Human Project for Happiness with withering wit. All you need to do is switch of the TV, close your eyes and that voice of reason will come through in High Definition!

While I may be limiting his genius by confining him to a "genre", I think its necessary to say that JG Ballard was perhaps one of the more groundbreaking writers in science fiction. Asimov does not compare
One of the most underrated writers ever. RIP JG Ballard.
