Led by a charismatic and slightly unhinged woman, a group of environmentalists wins control over a small atoll in the Pacific and sets up a utopian community. Breeding other threatened species and among themselves, these homesteaders slowly transform an Eden of their own into a much darker place. A savage send-up of environmentalism, feminism, and extremism of all sorts, Rushing to Paradise is also a brave new exploration of that strange territory J. G. Ballard has illuminated over the course of his career.

Review:

‘Ballard is a magician of the contemporary scene and a literary saboteur. “Rushing to Paradise” is a Wellsian drama of extremity and isolation ... No one else writes with such enchanted clarity or strange power’ Guardian

‘Pure Ballard. I read it with rapt fascination ... Wonderful’ William Boyd

‘”Robinson Crusoe” in reverse. Teasing and sardonic ... Ballard at his best’ Independent on Sunday
