Everything you need to understand or teach The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard.
A gripping meditation on the impact of human development on the natural world, J.G. Ballard's The Drowned World is a dreamlike odyssey through time and space in a post-apocalyptic world. Following the movements of Dr. Robert Kerans, a researcher studying the impact of an environmental cataclysm on parts of the world that once rested above sea level and are now wholly submerged, the novel takes place in and around the sunken city of London, and makes deep examinations of human impulses, biology, and systems. Indebted to tales of descent like Dante's Inferno and Conrad's Heart of Darkness, The Drowned World is pithy and economical in its exploration of climate, gender, time, value, and death.
