J. G. Ballard on the Future's Suburb of the Soul

Archaeology Quotations

By K. Kris Hirst, About.com

I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again... the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul.

J. G. Ballard (b. 1930). Interview, 30 Oct. 1982, in Re/Search 8/9.
