| Summary |
"A fascinating and unsettling anthology of 31 science fiction short stories in tribute to the prophetic dystopias of New Wave sci-fi pioneer, and literary titan of the twentieth century, J. G. Ballard -- featuring Will Self, Iain Sinclair, Christopher Fowler, Chris Beckett, Michael Moorcock, and many more. Few authors are so iconic that their name is an adjective -- Ballard is one of them. Master of both literary and science fiction, his classic novels such as Empire of the Sun, Crash and Cocaine Nights show a world out of joint, a bewildering and strange place. Alongside the classic dystopias of The Drowned World and High-Rise, his legacy shaped the future of literature"--Provided by publisher. |
