J.G. Ballard died this morning. He’s probably best known for books like Crash and The Atrocity Exhibition, and his memoir Empire of the Sun, but I found him through early (and definitely science fictional) works such as The Drowned World. His fiction did my adolescent and young adult head in. I’m sorry he’s dead.

Yes. He was my first real exposure to Brit SF. He was a dear friend of our pal Michael Moorcock. I did not know him well, but I too am sorry he is gone from this world.
My friend just gave me Drowned World; I should read it, huh?
