James Graham Ballard, born 15 November 1930 in Shanghai, was a writer of dystopian, literary fiction whose novels and short stories of a contemporary society in insidious thrall to technology, the media, and relentless progress both expanded and defied the genre of science fiction. He died 19 April 2009 in London, England.
