The Drowned World (1962) is a SF novel by J. G. Ballard, an author that has written in other literary genres and became especially famous thanks to a war novel, Empire of the Sun. Set in London in a far-away 2145, The Drowned World portraits a post-apocalyptic world that the main characters seems to appreciate as much as they fear it. Dreamlike, disturbing at times, challenging and fascinating.
