A terrifying vision of the future from one of the twentieth
century's most renowned writers - J. G. Ballard, author of 'Empire
of the Sun' and 'Crash'. Following the energy crisis of the late
twentieth-century America has been abandoned. Now, a century later,
an expedition from Europe returns to the deserted continent. But
America is unrecognisable - the Bering Strait has been dammed and
the whole continent has become a desert, populated by isolated
natives and the bizarre remnants of a disintegrated culture. The
expedition sets off from Manhattan on a cross-continent journey,
through Holiday Inns and abandoned theme parks. They will uncover a
shocking new power in the heart of Las Vegas in this unique vision
of our world transformed. This edition is part of a new
commemorative series of Ballard's works, featuring introductions
from a number of his admirers (including Ned Beauman, Ali Smith,
Neil Gaiman and Martin Amis) and brand-new cover designs.
