Abstract
The greatest developments in the immediate future will take place not on the Moon or Mars, but on Earth, and it is the inner space, not outer, that needs to be explored.
JG BALLARD
James Graham Ballard (1930-2009) was one of the most eclectic writers and visionaries of our time, author of several novels of worship such as High Rise (1975), Crash (1973) and The Atrocity Exhibition (1970). Intersecting some of the theoretical lines drawn from Jean Baudrillard, this paper focuses in particular on this work, a masterpiece of post-modern literary experimentation in the English language. The Atrocity Exhibition introduces some of the key themes of the subsequent production of the author and has the merit of shifting the attention of science fiction on the present rather than a hypothetical future, highlighting the profound contradictions of a consumer society.
