In a violent near-future where lawlessness rules the night, fifteen-year-old Alex leads his gang through a world that has lost its moral compass. His nights are filled with chaos and cruelty, his days with state experiments designed to strip him of choice itself. When society decides to cure him, Alex becomes the test case for a question that haunts humanity: can goodness exist without free will?
Told in Burgess’s electrifying invented slang, A Clockwork Orange is a brutal, darkly comic exploration of control, rebellion, and redemption. Both dazzling and disturbing, it remains one of the most provocative novels of the twentieth century.
The novel holds 4.4 stars on Amazon and 4.0 on Goodreads, a modern classic that questions what it truly means to be human.
