J.G. Ballard was one of the most important short story writers in science fiction, and his 18 collections span from Billenium (1962) to The Best Science Fiction of J. G. Ballard (2009). His early collections, like The Voices of Time (1962) and The Terminal Beach (1964), established him as a leading voice in the British New Wave of science fiction.
Later collections include The Atrocity Exhibition (1970), a fragmented experimental work, and Vermilion Sands (1971), a series of stories set in a futuristic desert resort. The Complete Stories of J.G. Ballard (2001) and its two-volume 2006 edition gather his entire short fiction output.
