he was part of the British New Wave, so the SF he wrote wasn't exactly Niven / Heinlein / Clarke, it was more.. uh.. Harlan Ellison with all the bullshit taken out.

He had a trilogy of sf novels that are something.
The Drowned World
The Burning World
The Crystal World
The last is the best.

Crash is good, too.
Atrocity Exhibition is for those who want Burroughs lite.

Really? One short story is about the very time going wrong because someone commited the first murder in space.

yeah, but then he progressed to writing things like Crash, Highrise and The Atrocity Exhibition. the last one, you'd be hard pressed to call it science fiction.

fuck knows what it is.
