Notes
A Clockwork Orange is a dystopian novel written by Anthony Burgess, first published in 1962. It explores themes of free will, violence, and the morality of imposing state control over individuals. The story follows Alex, a teenage delinquent with a passion for classical music and violent acts, who is eventually captured and subjected to a controversial government rehabilitation program. Through its depiction of Alex's journey and the societal attempts to "cure" him, the novel raises questions about the nature of human choice and the ethics of behavioral conditioning.
