Description
A high-tech business park on the Mediterranean coast is the setting for a disturbing crime in this extraordinary novel by J.G. Ballard. In 'Super-Cannes', Ballard explores a closed community where work has become the new leisure, and a mysterious murder sets off a chain of events that exposes a thriving subculture of crime. The story follows Paul Sinclair as he investigates his new surroundings after arriving at Eden-Olympia, a modern workers' paradise in the hills above Cannes. As he delves deeper into the community, he uncovers a complex web of secrets and lies that lead him to question what is real and what is not. With its unique blend of psychological suspense and technological intrigue, 'Super-Cannes' is a gripping mystery that explores the darker side of human nature in a world where work and leisure are increasingly blurred.
