Terminal Atrocity Zone examines a critical 7-year period in the work of author J G Ballard, ranging from 1966 to 1973. It includes a detailed overview of this period, with various original essays, and also with revealing interviews from the time in which Ballard discusses his work in depth; plus a section of works by Ballard, including: Coitus 80, the first surgical fiction'; Journey Across a Crater, an experimental 'condensed' blueprint for many of the ideas later developed in Crash; and much, much more.'
