Vermilion Sands is J.G. Ballard's fantasy landscape of the future - a latter-day Palm Springs populated by forgotten movie queens, temperamental dilettantes and drugged beachcombers. A FUTURISTIC COVER - COMES WITH 3D GLASSES!Welcome to Vermilion Sands, the fully automated desert-resort ready to fulfil your most exotic whims. Home to the idle rich it now languishes in uneasy decay, populated only by forgotten movie queens, solitary impresarios and the remittance men of the artistic and literary world. Discover prima donna plants programmed to sing operatic arias, dial-a-poem computers and psychosensitive houses capable of murder. These quintessentially Ballardian short stories of dystopian modernity are Ballard's `guess at what the future will actually be like'.
