A newly revised text for A Clockwork Orange’s 50th anniversary brings the work closest to its author’s intentions. A Clockwork Orange is as brilliant, transgressive, and influential as when it was published fifty years ago. A nightmare vision of the future told in its own fantastically inventive lexicon, it has since become a classic of modern literature and the basis for Stanley Kubrick’s...

This book is chilling in its depiction of pleasure gained from unprovoked violence. Equally chilling is the programming of Alex to be nauseated to the point of suicide by not only violence but his beloved music. The book makes you question the values of Alex, the "hoolingan" but also the values of a society that thinks it is acceptable to take away free will - neither of these extremes is acceptable.
