Jeff Noon

    24 de noviembre de 1957

    Jeff Noon es un novelista, cuentista y dramaturgo cuyas obras emplean extensamente juegos de palabras y fantasía. Estudió bellas artes y drama, y más tarde se convirtió en escritor residente en un importante teatro, aunque pronto se marchó, quizás encontrando el realismo inherente inadecuado para los reinos fantásticos que imaginaba. Inspirada por la sugerencia de un colega mientras trabajaba en una librería, su novela debut se convirtió en un hito de la ciencia ficción británica. Noon integra a la perfección desarrollos tecnológicos en mundos de magia y fantasía, obteniendo mayor inspiración de la música y los héroes del cómic estadounidense que de otros novelistas; a menudo escribe escuchando música.

    • "As hip and breathless as William Gibson, but spiced with dark humor and the horrible realisation that Noon knows of what he writes....Vurt is passionate, distinctive, demanding and enthralling--first-time novelist Noon has started with a bang."--The London Times.

      This anthology presents 32 science fiction short stories inspired by the prophetic dystopias of J. G. Ballard, a titan of 20th-century literature. Featuring contributions from notable authors like Will Self, Iain Sinclair, Christopher Fowler, Chris Beckett, and a new Jerry Cornelius story by Michael Moorcock, it pays homage to Ballard’s unique vision of a bewildering and alienating world. Ballard’s works, including Empire of the Sun, Crash, and Cocaine Nights, explore the disjointed nature of contemporary reality and classic dystopias such as The Drowned World and High Rise, leaving an indelible mark on literature. This groundbreaking collection, edited by Maxim Jakubowski and Rick McGrath, showcases the uncanny and uneasy relationship between humanity and the future, reflecting Ballard’s influence on literary and science fiction. The anthology includes stories from a diverse array of authors, such as Jeff Noon, Preston Grassmann, Toby Litt, Christine Poulson, and many more, each offering their interpretation of the themes that Ballard so masterfully explored. Through this compilation, readers are invited to engage with the unsettling visions that define our empires of concrete, seen through the warped lens of Ballard's legacy.
