But the recent launch of two blogs, by Perkins+Will and Westlake Reed Leskosky, proves that the medium is both relevant and worth the commitment of extra resources.

(2) s'assembla a , o suggereix les condicions, descrites en les novel·les de Ballard com ara, la modernitat distòpica, els  paisatgesdesolats creats per l'home, o els efectes psicològics del desenvolupament tecnològic, social o ambiental.  És a dir, s' hi explora la Ballardosphere (definició 2) tant com ho feia Ballard (definició 1).
