“What Is So Strange About The World We Live In Now Is The Way In Which Fiction And Reality Have Become Reversed”

Long-form 1986 interview with J. G. Ballard. (A little Swedish, mostly English.) 

“The only point of reality we have is inside our own heads,” Ballard said, though that feels like a very different time, our heads no longer really our own, their contents now increasingly quantified and commodified.

The writer also feared a “boring, event-less future.” No such luck.
