<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>First published in 1978, this collection of nineteen of Ballard's best short stories is as timely and informed as ever. 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 futurist who brought the information age into the mainstream.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A visionary in both style and substance . . .The literary equivalent of Salvador Dali or Max Ernst." --<i>The Washington Post Book World</i> <p/>"A writer of enormous inventive powers. Ballard has, like Calvino, a remarkable gift for filling the empty, deprived spaces of modern life with the invisible cities and the wonder worlds of the imagination." --<i>Malcolm Bradbury, The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"Complex, obsessive, frequently poetic, and always disquieting chronicles of nature rebelling against humans, of the survival of barbarism in a world of mechanical efficieny, of entropy, anomie, breakdown, ruin . . . The blasted landscapes that his characters inhabit are both external settings and states of mind." --<i>Luc Sante</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>J.G.
