In a near-future Britain, young Alexander DeLarge and his pals get their kicks beating and raping anyone they please. When not destroying the lives of others, Alex swoons to the music of Beethoven. The state, eager to crack down on juvenile crime, gives an incarcerated Alex the option to undergo an invasive procedure that'll rob him of all personal agency. In a time when conscience is a commodity, can Alex change his tune?

Youth is bound to pass. No doubt about it. It is merely an illustration of animal behavior. Or rather, a trinket sold at street vendors, an iron-plated clockwork doll which walks once wound up. A Clockwork Orange is a fantasy novella which tells the story of a problem boy from the future society of Britain. He plunged into crime driven by adolescent hormone before he was deprived of his free will as punishment. When he reentered society after rehabilitation, he realized he was just a clockwork orange in the hands of God.
