The Venus Hunters
The Venus Hunters is a collection of short stories by J. G. Ballard, first published in 1980 as a paperback by Panther Books, and reprinted as a hardback in 1986 by Victor Gollancz. It includes:
- "Now: Zero"
- "The Time-Tombs"
- "Track 12"
- "Passport to Eternity"
- "Escapement"
- "Time of Passage"
- "The Venus Hunters"
- "The Killing Ground"
- "One Afternoon at Utah Beach"
- "The 60 Minute Zoom"
The first seven stories are reprinted from The Overloaded Man; the other three are more recent. "The 60 Minute Zoom" may be one of Ballard's best experimental pieces: one of the oldest plots is given a unique treatment, only possible in a society depersonalised through technology.
