Karneval der Alligatoren

Ballard's depiction of a submerged Earth feels almost like a character itself. I'm curious how much the environment influences their inner transformations and fears.

The way the environment dominates the story made me reflect on our relationship with nature. Did that sense of inevitable loss resonate with others?

Ballard often blurs the line between external chaos and internal turmoil. I wonder what personal or societal anxieties led to this focus.
