Rezensionen
'Sublime...An elegant, elaborate trap of a novel, which reads as a companion piece to "Cocaine Nights" but takes ideas from that novel and runs further. The first essential novel of the 21st century' Independent

'Possibly his greatest book. "Super-Cannes" is both a novel of ideas and a compelling thriller that will keep you turning the pages to the shocking denouement. Only Ballard could have produced it' Sunday Express

'In this tautly paced thriller he brilliantly details how man's darker side derails a vast experiment in living, and shows the dangers of a near-future in which going mad is the only way of staying sane' Daily Mail

'Vintage Ballard, a gripping blend of stylised thriller and fantastic imaginings' Guardian
