Ideas. New Wave sci fi. Ballard influenced many areas of art, culture, and scholarship. In the story … the human race has been afflicted with a sleeping sickness. Mandalas. Strange mutated creatures keep showing up. Silent gene pairs. Could humans be in an evolutionary decline? Did we trigger that decline with testing atomic weaponry? The Mercury 7 project. Math and architecture. The final countdown. An experiment opens Power’s perceptions of time. Powers hears the Voices of Time. The story defies typical narrative structures. The story is more of a spiral than an arc. Many cultural and historical references. Operation: Greenhouse - Enewetak Atoll. Musings on Ballard’s influence. Asks the question … what if things were different?
Whoa - Hmmm - WTF. WTF? no question. Elements of whoa and hmmm. But primarily a mindbender.
