"J.G. Ballard cannot resist a characteristic inversion: 'I've decided to recast myself as Utopian. I like this landscape of the M25 and Heathrow. I like airfreight offices and rent-a-car bureaus. I like dual carriageways. When I see a CCTV camera, I know I'm safe. What I hate,' Ballard leans closer to the tape-recorder with a smile, 'is what I call heritage London. This is a new hate of mine. Heritage London is not just Bloomsbury, Whitehall, the Tower of London. It's really middle-class London – Hampstead, Notting Hill, wherever you find these areas held together by a dinner-party culture.'" Ballard talks to The Independent about his new novel.
