From the UEA website.
J.G. Ballard is one of the most significant and popular contemporary authors. Over the course of a career spanning nearly half a century, Ballard has been scanning the ambiguities and peculiarities of the contemporary landscape with the keen eye of the flâneur. Moving laterally across form (short story, novel, prose poetry, performance art, collage) and genre (science fiction, cultural journalism, detective fiction, autobiography), he has written with equal insight and intensity on subject matter as varied as nuclear apocalypse, the cult of celebrity, the psychology of consumerism, the erotics of automobile styling, and the meaning of meaningless violence”.
