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:

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.
