'The terrifying thing about Ballard is his logic; is this science fiction or history written ahead of its time?' Len Deighton 'More intelligent and more strange than almost any other novel' Brian Aldiss 'At a time when we live with constant warnings of a world destroyed by global warming, it is easy to forget that writers such as Ballard were exploring the fear of global blight nearly forty years ago' The Times 'It is weird; it is grotesque; it is magnificently Gothic' Sunday Times 'A strange and wonderful book' Guardian
