In J.G. Ballard's 'Millennium People', violent rebellion comes to London's middle classes. Psychologist David Markham investigates his ex-wife's death in a Heathrow bombing and infiltrates a radical protest group. Led by a charismatic doctor, the group seeks to incite the middle class to violence, freeing them from civic responsibilities and consumerism. Markham becomes embroiled in a campaign that spirals out of control, jeopardizing the pillars of English society and sowing panic in the capital.
James Graham Ballard was an English novelist and short-story writer, satirist and essayist known for psychologically provocative works of fiction that explore the relations between human psychology, technology, sex and mass media. Ballard first became associated with New Wave science fiction for post-apocalyptic novels such as The Drowned World (1962). He later courted controversy with the short-story collection The Atrocity Exhibition (1970), which includes the 1968 story "Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan", and later the novel Crash (1973), a story about car-crash fetishists.
