JG Ballard, RIP

J.G. Ballard was a fine writer, one of the best the science fiction genre produced. He had a wonderful sense of the weird and kinky but wrote with tremendous precision. Here's the Wikipedia entry for him. It's not bad at all. "The Crystal World" is one of my Top 10 sci fi novels and I love "The Drowned World" and "High Rse," too.
Fortunately you can find some of his better books in second hand stories and on the Internet.
