What might happen to Middle England if the retail and financial sectors were simply to melt away? Michael Aling casts a visionary eye on his hometown of Swindon and imagines a dystopian future of ‘post‐individualism’ in which retail mausoleums and gout clinics take the place of shopping malls and call centres.
