N2  - J. G. Ballard's fictional depiction of a future London under water bears a striking similarity with the actual experience of New Orleans. In reality, however, the impact of racism and "disaster capitalism" on both relief efforts and urban reconstruction have added a disturbing new dimension to Ballard's neo-Hobbesian evocation of the collapse of the late modern public realm.<p />
