In Ballards work there is always this mix of futuristic dread and excitement, a sweet spot where dystopia and utopia converge. For we cannot say we havent got precisely what we dreamed of, what we always wanted, so badly. The dreams have arrived, all of them: instantaneous, global communication, virtual immersion, biotechnology. These were the dreams. And calm and curious, pointing out every new convergence, Ballard reminds us that dreams are often perverse. ― Zadie Smith
