In the French Riviera, a high-tech business park called Eden-Olympia presents itself as a paradise for executives. However, behind the facade of innovation and luxury, a disturbing reality is hidden. When Dr. Jane Sinclair and her husband Paul arrive at this place, they find themselves involved in a mystery involving a shocking crime. What led Jane's predecessor to commit a mass murder? As Paul investigates, he discovers a criminal subculture that spirals out of control, revealing the dark secrets of this modern utopia. Super-Cannes is a novel that combines elements of thriller and satire, exploring themes such as work, crime and dehumanization in a high-tech environment.
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.
