Jeff Noon ist ein Romanautor, Kurzgeschichtenautor und Dramatiker, dessen Werke ausgiebig Wortspiele und Fantasie einsetzen. Er studierte Kunst und Drama und wurde später Hausautor an einem großen Theater, verließ dieses jedoch bald, vielleicht weil der inhärente Realismus für die von ihm erdachten fantastischen Welten ungeeignet war. Inspiriert von der Anregung eines Kollegen, während er in einem Buchladen arbeitete, wurde sein Debütroman zu einem Meilenstein der britischen Science-Fiction. Noon integriert technologische Entwicklungen nahtlos in Welten voller Magie und Fantasie und schöpft mehr Inspiration aus Musik und amerikanischen Comic-Helden als aus anderen Romanautoren; er schreibt oft zu Musik.

This anthology presents 32 science fiction short stories inspired by the prophetic dystopias of J. G. Ballard, a titan of 20th-century literature. Featuring contributions from notable authors like Will Self, Iain Sinclair, Christopher Fowler, Chris Beckett, and a new Jerry Cornelius story by Michael Moorcock, it pays homage to Ballard’s unique vision of a bewildering and alienating world. Ballard’s works, including Empire of the Sun, Crash, and Cocaine Nights, explore the disjointed nature of contemporary reality and classic dystopias such as The Drowned World and High Rise, leaving an indelible mark on literature. This groundbreaking collection, edited by Maxim Jakubowski and Rick McGrath, showcases the uncanny and uneasy relationship between humanity and the future, reflecting Ballard’s influence on literary and science fiction. The anthology includes stories from a diverse array of authors, such as Jeff Noon, Preston Grassmann, Toby Litt, Christine Poulson, and many more, each offering their interpretation of the themes that Ballard so masterfully explored. Through this compilation, readers are invited to engage with the unsettling visions that define our empires of concrete, seen through the warped lens of Ballard's legacy.
