Millennium People by J. G. Ballard
This novel delves into the heart of a middle-class rebellion in contemporary London, where a psychologist becomes embroiled in the lives of affluent revolutionaries. As he navigates through a landscape of sterile luxury and aimless anger, he finds himself sympathizing with their cause against the banalities and injustices of 21st-century consumer society. The narrative explores themes of social unrest, the search for authenticity, and the disillusionment with modern life, presenting a dystopian vision where even the privileged are not immune to the urge to destroy the symbols of their own success.
