Long-regarded as one of the true visionary writers of the twentieth century, J.G. Ballard was one of the first British writers of the post-war period to begin to see, and to map out in his fiction, the future course of our civilization. For forty years his unflinching eye has turned to the point where the advancing edge of our technological progress has worn away our inner humanity. Eden-Olympia is more than just a multinational business park, it is a virtual city-state in itself, with the latest in services and facilities for the most elite high-tech industries. Isolated and secure, overlooking the luxurious French Riviera, the residents lack nothing. Yet one day Dr. Greenwood from Eden-Olympia's clinic goes on a suicidal shooting spree. Dr. Jane Sinclair is hired as his replacement, and she and her husband, Paul, are given Dr. Greenwood's house as a residence. Unable to work while recovering from an accident, Paul spends his days taking a close look at the house where Dr. Greenwood shot himself and three hostages. He discovers clues in the house lead him to question Eden-Olympia's official account of the killings. Drawn into investigating the activities of the park's leading citizens, while Jane is lured deeper into Eden-Olympia's inner workings, Paul uncovers the dangerous psychological vents that maintain Eden-Olympia's smoothly running surface. An experiment is underway at Eden-Olympia, an experiment in power and brutality. Soon Paul finds himself in race to save himself and his wife before they are crushed by forces that may be beyond anyone's control.

Paul and his wife Jane move to France so that she can take up a post as doctor to the new community of Eden-Olympia. According to its resident psychologist, the community is a place where one is absolutely free to "board the escalator of possibility". And, Jane does just that.

A Eden-Olympia, nouveau parc d'activités high-tech sur les hauteurs de Cannes, une élite de PDG de multinationales, de financiers et de scientifiques venus de tous les pays prépare le troisième millénaire. Harmonie, efficacité, rendement sont les maîtres-mots. Personne ne comprend pourquoi, lors de ce qui semble avoir été un accès de folie, le brillant docteur David Greenwood a exécuté sept cadres supérieurs et trois otages, avant de se donner la mort. Après le bref émoi causé par le drame, chacun est retourné à ses activités. Mais tandis que Jane Sinclair, la jeune femme médecin choisie pour succéder à Greenwood, prend ses fonctions à la clinique, son mari Paul, contraint au repos après un accident, s'intéresse aux dessous de l'affaire et se laisse entraîner dans l'étrange envers du décor d'Eden-Olympia... Aux côtés des meilleurs romans de Bret Easton Ellis et de Don DeLillo, J G Ballard offre ici la description la plus pénétrante et féroce qu'on puisse lire des rêves terminaux du capitalisme.

A l'aube du troisième millénaire, dans le sud de la France, sur les hauteurs de Cannes, le parc d'activités international Eden-Olympia - " cité de l'intelligence " et " future Silicon Valley européenne " -accueille des multinationales et leurs cadres supérieurs, attirés par la beauté du lieu, l'impression d'efficacité et de sécurité qu'il dégage. C'est dans ce cadre idyllique que Paul Sinclair accompagne, à bord de sa Jaguar millésimée, sa jeune femme médecin Jane, choisie pour remplacer le docteur David Greenwood au poste de pédiatre de la luxueuse clinique rattachée au parc. Ledit David Greenwood a défrayé la chronique en assassinant dix personnes - dont sept cadres supérieurs - au cours de ce qui semble avoir été une crise de folie soudaine, avant de retourner son arme contre lui-même. Tandis que sa femme s'immerge dans un travail harassant, Sinclair, qui se remet des suites d'un accident d'avion, investit son temps libre dans l'exploration d'Eden-Olympia, microcosme chargé de secrets. Surveillé de près ou de loin par l'énigmatique vigile Frank Halder, il finit par reconstituer le mortel parcours de David Greenwood et découvre, à l'écart du monde contingent, une étrange culture d'entreprise... Dans sa vingt-sixième œuvre de fiction, J. G. Ballard montre jusqu'à quelles extrémités peuvent mener les rêves de capitalisme à outrance et laisse entrevoir un ultime moyen d'y échapper.

From the iconic author of Crash and Empire of the Sun, Cocaine Nights features a man who finds himself drawn into a network of drugs, pornography, and murder in a Spanish resort. The remarkable bestseller from one of the giants of modern British literature--at once an engrossing mystery and an unnerving vision of a society coming to terms with a life of unlimited leisure. When Charles Prentice arrives in Spain to investigate his brother's involvement in the death of five people in a fire in the upmarket coastal resort of Estrella de Mar, he gradually discovers that beneath the civilised, cultured surface of this exclusive enclave for Britain's retired rich there flourishes a secret world of crime, drugs and illicit sex . What starts as an engrossing mystery develops into a mesmerising novel of ideas--a dazzling work of the imagination from one of Britain's most original and controversial novelists.
