  WEALTH OF IDEAS — Authority: 121

It contains 94 stories, and comes at a time of renewed interest in the short story. I am going to review this book for the Sacramento or San Francisco Book Review , but for now, here are some details ...

  “Electronic aids, particularly domestic computers, will help the inner migration, the opting out of reality. Reality is no longer going to be the stuff out there, but the stuff inside your head. It’s going to be commercial and nasty at the same time.” - J. G. Ballard

  I finally got around to posting some photos/jaded thoughts from London, this first dispatch whilst reading Claro’s Electric Flesh & this second dispatch whilst reading J.G. Ballards’s The Drowned World . Apologies to anyone who likes London, I wasn’t feeling it.

  The Casual Optimist — Authority: 122

  Mystic Medusa — Authority: 482
  J.G. Ballard HAUTE SCORPIO IS INSCRUTABLE Mysterious by nature, Scorpio is the only sign which can carry off a chic yet compulsive-obsessive aura. Do they have hobbies? Stuff that they just dabble in? No. They tend toward deep and abiding interests in subjects to do with sex, the occult, and other people’s money. ...
