The Drowned World - J G Ballard

First published in 1962, J.G. Ballard's mesmerizing and ferociously prescient novel imagines a terrifying future in which solar radiation and global warming have melted the ice caps and Triassic-era jungles have overrun a submerged and tropical London.  Set during the year 2145, the novel follows biologist Dr. Robert Kerans and his team of scientists as they confront a surreal cityscape populated by giant iguanas, albino alligators, and endless swarms of malarial insects.  Nature has swallowed all but a few remnants of human civilization, and, slowly, Kerans and his companions are transformed--both physically and psychologically--by this prehistoric environment.   IMPORTANT!
