J.G. Ballard [1930 – 2009] ii
The novel is still largely a 19th-century form which has completely excluded … any consideration of the impact of science and technology on human beings from the main body of its work … most mainstream 20th-century novelists are still working with a 19th-century form that’s concerned not with dynamic societies but with static societies where social nuance is still important”.
J.G. Ballard, quoted in C21 (1991).
