The Drowned World is a 1962 science fiction novel by J.G. Ballard set in a future where solar radiation has melted the polar ice caps, transforming London into a flooded tropical lagoon. The story follows biologist Robert Kerans and his team as they navigate this altered environment, experiencing psychic transformations and regression to earlier evolutionary states, ultimately drawn deeper into the chaotic landscape rather than seeking to restore the old world.
