Exploring the decline of Western civilization in the late twentieth century, Dr. Dominika Oramus analyzes J.G. Ballard's diverse body of work as a reflection of societal decay. Through various literary styles, Ballard's writing presents a "post-apocalyptic" reality, revealing the spiritual and social challenges faced by contemporary society. Oramus employs textual analysis to highlight Ballard's unique stylistics and his engagement with critical theories, including psychoanalysis and cultural commentary, illustrating the interconnectedness of his themes and the human psyche's response to a changing world.
