I mean no slight to Stanley Kubrick, because most of his films are true works of genius (make sure to seek out Paths of Glory).
However, the genius behind the vision of future British society in A Clockwork Orange was Anthony Burgess, who wrote that book, as well as many other novels. I am particularly fond of End of the World News, Nothing Like the Sun, and A Dead Man in Deptford.
Regards,
Tom
