Book Overview

by J. G. Ballard (Author), Anthony Burgess (Introduction by)

First published in 1978, this collection of nineteen of J. G. Ballard's best short stories is as timely and informed as ever. This collection includes "The Garden of Time," the inspiration for the 2024 Met Gala-fashion's biggest night.

His tales of the human psyche and its relationship to nature and technology, as viewed through a strong microscope, were eerily prescient and now provide greater perspective on our computer-dominated culture.

Ballard's voice and vision have long served as a font of inspiration for today's cyber-punks, the authors and futurists who brought the information age into the mainstream.
