Afternoon all
Did I mention that my new phone came with a book reader, “Three Musketeers” by Alexandre Dumas was one of the three free one, just thought I’d let you know. Also I re-read Arthur C Clarkes “Profiles of the future” (non-fiction) earlier this year it’s quite amazing how much of the technology he wrote about in 1959 is common place today.

I love Ballard.
Even his sci fi stuff is extremely good. I recommend the short story Memories of the Space Age.
Follow that up with The Atrocity Exhibition.

I read an article the other day that claimed a large group of modern scifi tropes
were first written in a hack sequel to War of the Worlds called "Edison's Conquest of Mars". Stuff like hand held ray guns, spacesuits etc.
