Kingdom Come by J G Ballard

Kingdom Come by J G Ballard

Anticipates todays Britain with eerie precision Guardian With a new introduction by Deborah Levy and a striking new cover design by the artist Stanley Donwood, Ballards final novel sees consumerism evolve into something even more sinister.

‘“Kingdom Come” is important, germaine, timely and creepy, a tidal wrack of ideas washed up on the artificial beach of our resort culture’ Will Self

‘As outré as ever, and still as keen to understand the national psyche … Ballard retains a clear-sighted, almost vatic quality’ Spectator

‘As fertile as ever … “Kingdom Come” is impressively packed with brilliant apercus’ Observer

‘Ballard’s vision is scary and utterly real … compelling’ Financial Times
