A Clockwork Orange

Book • 1962

In 'A Clockwork Orange', Anthony Burgess depicts a dystopian future where teenage gangs roam the streets, committing acts of violence and mayhem.

The protagonist, Alex, narrates his experiences as the leader of such a gang and his subsequent capture and submission to the Ludovico Technique, a controversial behavioral conditioning treatment aimed at eradicating his violent tendencies.

The novel delves into profound questions about the nature of good and evil, the limits of individual freedom, and the role of government in shaping human behavior.

Through Alex's journey, Burgess examines the complexities of human nature and the delicate balance between freedom and constraint.
