O Mundo de Cristal

Ballard’s vivid descriptions create a mesmerizing yet unsettling atmosphere. I'm curious if specific real-world phenomena influenced this vision.

The detailed descriptions and philosophical musings add depth, but I wondered if the slower sections were intentional to reflect the world’s stagnation.

The crystals seem to embody multiple themes, and I’d love to hear different perspectives on what they represent in the story’s larger context.
