From the British Fantasy Society:

We're celebrating the release of a remarkable book: a biography of J.G. Ballard that the late novelist Christopher Priest was working on when he passed away from the same cancer that killed Ballard. Our own Teika Marija Smits chats with Nina Allan, Priest's widow, who finished the book as a love letter to two great men.

reading "Cocaine Nights" by JG Ballard, the hero has at last uncovered the conspiracy rousing people to leave their homes and participate in face-to-face social activities rather than staring at devices all day:-

"You'll bring them back to life - with amateur porn-films, burglary and cocaine?"

🚀✨ So, we’re basically in a #sci-fi novel now, except without the cool gadgets or dystopian charm. Instead, we're stuck with concrete hearts and a future so dull, even J.G. Ballard would doze off. 😴📚

Back in the personal archives AKA “why the hell did I keep all this stuff in this box.” This is a clipping from JG Ballard in the Observer, December 1996, dismissing “The Case For Mars”: “… for all that superabundance of light years, an infinitude of nothingness is still nothing.” #MemoryLane #JGBallard #Mars #SpaceExploration #1990s #Mastodaoine

Just finished (re-)reading The History of the #Runestaff by #MichaelMoorcock

I love his 1960s British pop-culture references, but I don't get all of them:

• Jhone, Jhorg, Phowl, Rhunga are the #Beatles
• Chirshil is #Churchill
• Bjrin Adass — #BrianAldiss ? Why is he the Singing God?
• Jeajee Blad — #JGBallard
• Jh'Im Slas — Jim ??
• Aral Vilsn — #HaroldWilson

Wilson is father of Squeeze(?) and Balance of Credit. I need to look up the specific events of c.1968 to see what he's referring to.
