This music is dedicated to the memory of the plants, animals, and indigenous peoples whose extinction is caused by man (not woman).

"Myths of the Near Future" is the title of a collection of short stories by J.G. Ballard. Also, several titles are named after Ballard's short stories and novels. We hope he might be pleased. "Food of the Gods" is the title of a book by Terrence McKenna.
