Title: Essential (dark!) Ballard
Product review: A must for Ballard Fans and a great introduction to BallardThis issue of RE Search includes loads of interviews and material by Ballard. Combined with select excerpts from his books, 'RE Search J.G. Ballard' quickly paints a vivid portrait of Ballard's unique and prophet view of the future (and present.)This book chiefly gives an overview of Ballard's philosophy and future-shock psychosis; an obsessive and disturbing view of contemporary culture, often focusing on the media and sexuality. You won't find many laughs here, or great stories (buy his novels for that.) Instead, RE Search provides a rather dry and scientific document of England's greatest futurist and visionary.
