| Summary: | "A tribute to the fictitious magazine Wave IX from J.G. Ballard's 1961 short story "Studio 5, The Stars." In the fictitious version of the magazine Ballard predicts the rise of machine generated poetry; and in this real-world version of Wave IX the current debacle over machine generated works is satirized, battled against, and disregarded with human generated works, tributes to Ballard, works inspired by the story, and more. Wave IX features a multigenerational cast of writers and artists from all over the world. Featuring stories, poetry, and art from: Eugen Bacon, F.J. Bergmann, Michael Butterworth, Jacques Garnier, Jean-Paul L. Garnier, Carter Kaplan, Jardine Libaire, Jonathan Nevair, Charles Platt, Aaron Sheppard, & Mark Soden Jr. This anthology is published by Space Cowboy Books, an award-winning brick and mortar bookstore in Joshua Tree, California, an independent publishing house."--Publisher.
