Myths of the Near Future is a collection of science fiction short stories by British writer J. G. Ballard, first published in 1982.
The Mercury Prize-winning band Klaxons named their debut album after the book, and have been quoted as saying they are fans of Ballard's work, reflected in their science fiction and futuristic lyrical content.
Dave Pringle reviewed Myths of the Near Future for Imagine magazine, and stated that "Ballard has a talent for striking the contemporary nerve. Although made over into SF, the situations in this book are all too real. It is our world he is describing." [1]
