«The Unlimited Dream Company» is the science fiction novel by J. G. Ballard, published by Triad-Granada in paperback (220 pages, in English).
After crashing his light aircraft into the Thames, a young pilot emerges in Shepperton and transforms the London suburb into a dreamlike world: vultures circle above the rooftops, tropical vegetation overflows the streets, and the residents are swept up in ecstatic sexual celebrations towards an apocalyptic climax.
The novel «The Unlimited Dream Company», originally published in 1979, won the British Science Fiction Association Award and was a finalist for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award.
For readers of speculative science fiction and magical realism interested in a dreamlike and disturbing vision of suburban life.
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.
