A short novella and quick read. The book is nicely paced, and, as always, a comment on society by Ballard.

A wonderfully interesting take on how society might change it's perceptions of things in the event we leave this planet.

"Probably have to say Dead Poet’s Society, too. I’m a massive Robin Williams fan. Basically anything that he ever did."

Brilliant. This film never ages and retains a relevance today with austerity and the "attack" on the most vulnerable within society. (0 more)

A fantastic film that holds a mirror to a lacking society
In my opinion, this cinematic piece is nothing less than amazing. It truly reflects what a horrid society we have, especially in attitudes and treatments for those with ill mental health

"We just grow up in a society that celebrates extroverts. We feel like we’re freaks, so they’re really great books for that."

It constantly fascinates my how relevant this novel is year after year. We are dangerously close to a society very similar to this one.
