“Human beings today … are surrounded by huge institutions we can never penetrate”

J. G. Ballard (1930–2009) British writer

"Kafka in the Present Day", originally published in [London] Sunday Times (1983)
A User's Guide to the Millennium (1996)

They've made themselves user friendly, but they define the tastes to which we conform. They're rather subtle, subservient tyrants, but no less sinister for that.
