«Mitos del futuro próximo» is a collection of science fiction stories by J. G. Ballard, published by Booket in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Stories in which Ballard imagines near and disturbing futures: a mental epidemic that alters perception, Las Palmas turned into a concentration camp, attacks of «ausencia», a Cinderella with a failed therapist and the family as an intensive care unit. Science fiction about alienation and dehumanization.
Work originally published in 1982 as «Myths of the Near Future»; this edition belongs to the Minotauro Bolsillo Ciencia Ficción series.
Aimed at science fiction readers interested in short stories and the British New Wave.
James Graham Ballard was an English novelist and short-story writer, satirist and essayist known for psychologically provocative works of fiction that explore the relations between human psychology, technology, sex and mass media. Ballard first became associated with New Wave science fiction for post-apocalyptic novels such as The Drowned World (1962). He later courted controversy with the short-story collection The Atrocity Exhibition (1970), which includes the 1968 story "Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan", and later the novel Crash (1973), a story about car-crash fetishists.
