BALLARD, J. G.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Myths of the Near Future. First edition of this collection. These short stories are classic Ballard fare. "The Smile" is narrated by a man who falls in love with a taxidermied woman, and "The Intensive Care Unit", concerns a society who communicates exclusively through primitive web cams. Several of these stories previously appeared in periodicals; this is their first appearance as a collection.
