I've just managed to get hold of a Sunday Times magazine from April 14 1963 featuring an article by Len Deighton on Supercar Motoring (find the article and the links to it on my Deighton Dossier main website).
Flushed with the critical and financial success of The Ipcress File, Len Deighton was someone who clearly liked to be in the cutting edge of the latest technological developments. In 1963, that meant short-wave in-car radio phones and in-car phonographs (record players!). A fascinating insight into how far we've come, technology-wise, in the last forty years. The uses of new technology in changing the world of work is something which features in a number of his stories.
This is a blog about the books, film and world of British thriller and spy novel author Len Deighton, writer of The Ipcress File, Funeral in Berlin, SS-GB, Bomber, Berlin Game and many other books. This blog also covers the spy thriller genre and the Cold War more widely. It is a companion website to the main Deighton Dossier archive (link on the right). It is the only website + blog endorsed by the author himself! Content (c) Rob Mallows 2008-22 unless otherwise stated.
