Myths of the Near Future

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Myths of the Near Future, a short-story collection by J. G. Ballard, contains the following stories:

  • Myths of the Near Future
  • Having a Wonderful Time
  • A Host of Furious Fancies
  • Zodiac 2000
  • News from the Sun
  • Theatre of War
  • The Dead Time
  • The Smile
  • Motel Architecture
  • The Intensive Care Unit

"The Dead Time" was a semi-autobiographical tale of Ballard's release from a Japanese prison camp at the close of World War II, and was later expanded into a full-blown novel, Empire of the Sun.

The name and collection has recently influenced hotly-tipped British band, Klaxons to name their debut album after it.
