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. Featuring: • Chris Beckett • Alexandra Benedict •
Pat Cadigan • Adrian Cole • Ramsey Campbell • Paul Di Filippo
• Christopher Fowler • Jeff Noon • David Gordon • James
Grady • Preston Grassmann • Andrew Hook • Samantha Lee Howe
• Rhys Hughes • Maxim Jakubowski • Hanna Jameson • Toby
Litt • James Lovegrove • Nick Mamatas • Barry Malzberg •
Michael Moorcock • Rick McGrath • Adrian McKinty • Geoff
Nicholson • Christine Poulson • David Quantick • Adam Roberts
• George Sandison • Will Self • Iain Sinclair • Lavie
Tidhar 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.
