Crash
J. G. Ballard@TheNeuroTimes It’s also a key trope in modern literature; F Scott Fitzgerald’s work often included car accidents, influenced, I believe, by loss of a friend in college. It’s a powerful symbol of modern speed, power, crisis. I 2nd the recommendation to read Ballard’s Crash if haven’t already
