Review Quotes:
"In Ballard the dystopia is not hidden under anything. Nor is it (as with so many fictional dystopias) a vision of the future. It is not the subtext. It is the text...."--Zadie Smith, The New York Review of Books
"A work of very powerful originality. Ballard is among our finest writers of fiction."--Anthony Burgess "Crash sensationally and scintillatingly succeeds."--Martin Amis "The last great English avatar of the avant-garde."--Will Self
