3. A Clockwork Orange is a dystopian novella by Anthony Burgess published in 1962. Set in a not-so-distant future society that has a culture of extreme youth violence, the novel's teenage anti-hero gives a first-person narration about his violent exploits and his experiences with state authorities intent on reforming him. It is an exploration of human violence and human free will to choose between good and evil and the cost to the individual of restraining it. It is an experiment with language, written in a Russian-influenced argot called "Nadsat". It may be a satire of youth subcultures that arose in 1950s Anglo-America. According to Burgess, the novel was a jeu d'esprit written in just three weeks.
