A fascinating and unsettling anthology of 32 science fiction short stories in tribute to the prophetic dystopias of New Wave sci-fi pioneer, and literary titan of the twentieth century, J. G. Ballard—featuring Will Self, Iain Sinclair, Christopher Fowler, Chris Beckett, and a new Jerry Cornelius story from Michael Moorcock. Few authors are so iconic that their name is an adjective – Ballard is one of them. Master of both literary and science fiction, his novels such as Empire of the Sun, Crash and Cocaine Nights show a world out of joint – a bewildering, alienating and yet enthralling place. From his rapturously weird takes on contemporary reality to his classic dystopias like The Drowned World and High Rise, Ballard’s legacy shaped the future of literature. This first-of-its-kind anthology, featuring our greatest literary and science fiction authors, and a new Jerry Cornelius story from the iconic Michael Moorcock, pays tribute to the unique visions of humanity’s uncanny and uneasy clash with the future – our empires of concrete – seen through the warped lens of J. G. Ballard. Edited by renowned editors Maxim Jakubowski and Rick McGrath, this collection includes stories by: • Will Self • Iain Sinclair • Christopher Fowler • Chris Beckett • Michael Moorcock • Jeff Noon • Preston Grassmann • Toby Litt • Christine Poulson • David Gordon • Hanna Jameson • James Lovegrove • Ramsey Campbell • Barry N. Malzberg • Paul Di Filippo • Samathan Lee Howe • Nick Mamatas • Adrian McKinty • Rhys Hughes • Adrian Cole • Pat Cadigan • Adam Roberts • George Sandison • Geoff Nicholson • A.K. Benedict • Andrew Hook • David Quantick • Lavie Tidhar • James Grady
Jeff Noon Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)
Jeff Noon ist ein Romanautor, Kurzgeschichtenautor und Dramatiker, dessen Werke ausgiebig Wortspiele und Fantasie einsetzen. Er studierte Kunst und Drama und wurde später Hausautor an einem großen Theater, verließ dieses jedoch bald, vielleicht weil der inhärente Realismus für die von ihm erdachten fantastischen Welten ungeeignet war. Inspiriert von der Anregung eines Kollegen, während er in einem Buchladen arbeitete, wurde sein Debütroman zu einem Meilenstein der britischen Science-Fiction. Noon integriert technologische Entwicklungen nahtlos in Welten voller Magie und Fantasie und schöpft mehr Inspiration aus Musik und amerikanischen Comic-Helden als aus anderen Romanautoren; er schreibt oft zu Musik.
