For those who don’t know the work of Ballard, he’s worth researching as an author. A very interesting contributor to the genre.

- davedx 4y agoThe Drowned World had a big impact on me.
- orobinson 4y agoIt didn’t really capture me when I first read it but it’s one of those fictional worlds that stays with you in a haunting kind of way. Reading this short story gave me a similar vibe and I wasn’t entirely surprised to discover at the end that JG Ballard was the author. I’ll have to give The Drowned World another read one day.
- MrVandemar 4y agoThe Crystal World is a direct influence on the film version of Annihilation.
- noisy_boy 4y agoThanks for sharing that tidbit - Annihilation is one of my favourite recent SciFi movies. That and Arrival.
- logicallee 4y agoBased on your reading, how do Ballard's other works compare in style and theme to this Report on an Unidentified Space Station? Are the text style and the themes very similar?
