Wow, apparently you can just drive to and climb around inside some abandoned B-52s and a B-58 Hustler that are just chilling in the Mojave. youtube.com/watch?v=iJVu6J…

This week we are celebrating the year of the White Heat of Technology, 1964, and the future-embracing modernist buildings completed that year. We wrote a blog on the subject a few years ago; 1964-Welcome to the Future, read it here modernism-in-metroland.co.uk/blog/1964-welc…

How on earth could one sit down to write a serious novel about the last Pres. election when the chief character himself was a fiction already created by somebody else? The task of the writer... to work out what the reality is behind this fictional mix JG Ballard interview 1970

I thought of it as space pastoral – a kind of nature writing about the beauty of space, with a slightly nostalgic sense of what’s disappearing. Samantha Harvey on her Booker Prize winning novel Orbital

Newly published: This book vividly reconstructs how J.G. Ballard came to write CRASH, the cultural landscape in which it was written, the effect of its reception, and the toll it took on its author. link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

"Malcolm Bradbury claimed that with Empire of the Sun ‘Ballard became an important mainstream novelist,’ and went on to compare him to Ian McEwan and Iain Banks – intending that as praise." lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…

So this is my first, and possibly last, real book! Available on Amazon now and good booksellers soon Inspired by JG Ballard's endlessly faceted works I've been trying for decades to make new ways of understanding them, with some interesting results thanks to Rick McGrath

Another informative and entertaining video from The Outlaw Bookseller, Stephen E Andrews. Starts with some new William Gibson editions but also a nice bit about my little book Ballardian Diversions (the video link starts with that bit) so that made my day youtu.be/pvfPrqzHCtk?t=…

A brilliant, obsessive dive into the surreal and cerebral world of J.G. Ballard—part art project, part thought experiment, all delightfully deranged #JGballard #experimentalbooks #Ballardian
