I loved the movie of Empire of the Sun so much that I looked into all of J. G. Ballard's books then, and ... yeah. The description of all his books, and characters, sounded so grim and unpleasant that I decided to just leave it at having seen the movie.
I had read The Drowned World which was a kind of climate fiction, flooded London, which I remember as well written. And the movie adaptation of High Rise was also grim but a well made movie. So I originally I was looking for an eBook of High Rise when I stumbled across Concrete Island.
