The Notty Blogger is back


I have been overseas in Hong Kong and China in past weeks but I return with a new sense of wonder at the how the human species is taking over urban spaces. You might call it the Hong Kong 3D urban dystopic withdrawal.
Back in suburbia it is different - even safe - or is it? Confessions of Ballard fan.
"The system is self-regulating. It relies on our sense of civic responsibility. Without that, society would collapse. In fact, the collapse may even have begun.” J.G. Ballard. Millennium People (2003; p. 104).
