For George Thomson , JG Ballard's 1960 short story ‘The Sound‐Sweep’ provided the essential springboard for a short animated film centred around the M25 and Bluewater. The super‐regional shopping centre is transformed, after a series of targeted attacks, into the Great London Sewer. The narrative is told through the medium of sketchbooks, produced by the Old Man of this lost community surviving in no‐man's land. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
