JG Ballard 15 November 1930 - 19 April 2009

"Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century."
J. G. Ballard

"the evolving world, the world of hidden persuaders, of the communications landscape developing, of mass tourism, of the vast conformist suburbs dominated by television – that was a form of science fiction, and it was already here".
