"The Voices of Time" is a dystopian science fiction short story by British author J. G. Ballard. It was first published in the October edition of New Worlds, and later in the collection The Voices of Time and Other Stories. It is an early example of the Inner Space type of story which drove the New Wave movement in the s. Its primary theme is one which was common in the New Wave, that of entropy and the breakdown of all things. You’ll find “The Voices of Time” in The Complete Stories of J.G. Ballard: FIC BALLARD. Describing the plot of “The Voices of Time” isn’t exactly easy. For one, it’s all pretty obscure—so much of the future it describes is merely hinted at, so many of its characters’ actions are mysterious. Even worse, breaking it down into its constituent parts almost makes “The Voices of Time” sound like campy fun. Abstract. ’The Voices of Time’ () is the finest of Ballard’s early stories, an enigmatic but indisputable masterpiece which marks the first appearance of a number of favourite Ballard images (a drained swimming-pool, a mandala, a collection of ‘terminal documents’) and prefigures the ’disaster’ novels in its depiction of a compulsively driven male protagonist searching for identity (or oblivion) within a disturbingly changed environment.
