Ballard will certainly read in the future. His work is terribly insightful. Perhaps the discomfort he can create is what has kept him off this list of generally escapist fiction. Don't get me wrong; I love to escape into some fantastic literature too. Escapism is by it's nature ephemeral.
Ballard's dissection of this world lays bare things people may not wish to consider. I read Cocaine Nights recently, and can't recommend it (or most anything else of Ballard's) enough.
Not a cube, but Open BlockS have a nice Lego look to them, are available in three colors, and you get a free keychain and discount price if you buy them in the store!
Also, I think these might be a bit more durable; kick, spill, thrash resistant. The case is closed and pretty solid.
