Hit or miss. I'm thinking of reading Super-Cannes soon, isn't that supposed to be one of his best late novels?

You have to read his stories like 3 months apart from each other so you don’t notice how repetitive they are. it’s the same with William Gibson, vonnegut a bunch of other authors. My favorite Ballard story is Concentration City
