The Voices of Time

J. G. Ballard

First published October 1960
Type Short Fiction
Length Novelette

In a time not too far from ours, society is winding down as humans are overtaken by narcolepsy and plants and animals are mutating wildly to adapt to the old-age of Life itself, while mysterious signals from space appear to be counting down to the end of their sources, and the Universe itself.
