J. G. Ballard: "The marriage of reason and nightmare which has dominated Twentieth Century has given birth to an ever more ambiguous world. Across the communications landscape move the specters of sinister technologies and the dreams that money can buy. Thermonuclear weapons systems and soft drink commercials coexist in an overlit realm ruled by advertising and pseudo-events, science and pornography. Over our lives preside the great twin leitmotifs of Twentieth Century -- sex and paranoia."
