He did science fiction. Among other things he was on of the British world destroyer authors.

But he also had a lot of rather experimental and even weird stories--some of which intersected SF to some degree and some of which really didn't.

Perhaps his best known work is the novels that were made into movies, “Crash” and “High-Rise”, and neither is science fiction.

There’s also “Empire of the Sun” that was adapted by Steven Spielberg, but it’s autobiographical so doesn’t really count.
