J.G. Ballard's work has influenced so many parts of media that it felt right to kick this episode off with a quote from Joy Division. Instead of breaking down any one of his texts, we thought that it would be better to break down his writing into three distinctive themes or periods. No matter what piece of work you pick up, you'll find J.G. Ballard's writing evocative and boundary-pushing: an exemplar of the New Wave.
