Great author, true visionary.

The guy has been uncannily accurate in his analysis of the psycholgical and physical impact of the modern technological hyper consumerist era - a lot of the stuff that he was writing in the 60’s and early 70’s - although seeming far out at the time - now seem to describe the exprience of living in the 21st century.

sad day.:crying:

I thought crash was great and the drowned world, well. What can I say. Su fffeing purb.
