After being bombarded endlessly by road-safety propaganda it was almost a relief to find myself in an actual accident.
When James Ballard smashes his car into another, he becomes fascinated with the allure of violence. His new friend Dr Robert Vaughan a charismatic figure with a dubious sense of morality leads him to a transgressive underworld of desire, where the collision of modernity and sex are pushed to the extremes. In a society ruled by mass-media and technological advancements, are there any limits to humanitys obsessions?
