Description
J.G. Ballard's Kingdom Come is a gripping thriller that explores the darker forces at work beneath the surface of consumerist culture. When a deranged mental patient is released without charge after gunning down a man in a vast shopping mall, Richard Pearson's suspicions are aroused. As he investigates the mystery, he uncovers a neo-fascist world at the Metro-Centre mall, where charismatic speakers whip up the masses into a state of unsustainable frenzy. This thought-provoking novel holds up a mirror to suburban mind rot, revealing the tensions and conflicts that simmer beneath the gloss of consumerism and flag-waving patriotism.
