"A Clockwork Orange" is a dystopian novel by Anthony Burgess, published in 1962, and later adapted into a film by Stanley Kubrick. It follows Alex, a young delinquent with a penchant for violence, who undergoes an experimental treatment to curb his criminal behavior. The story explores themes of free will, morality, and the impact of state control on individual freedom.
