About
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.
This collection gathers today's greatest literary and science fiction authors to pay tribute to the creator of “Balllardian” worlds we live in today. A first of its kind anthology, collecting tales of humanity's uncanny and uneasy clash with the future, and the distorted psychological spaces hidden in empires of concrete.
