Synopsis:
The wealthy inhabitants of a luxurious, well-designed apartment complex become engaged in hostilities that begin in the dropping of debris onto lower balconies and climax in drunken, marauding attacks by rival floor tribes
Review:
‘Ballard’s finest novel... Vibrant with irony and images, a triumph of artistry and feeling.’ The Times
‘Ingenious... High-Rise is an intense and vivid bestiary, which lingers unsettlingly in the mind.’ Martin Amis
‘A gripping read, particularly if you like your thrills chilly, bloody and with claims to social relevance.’ Time Out
‘An eerie glimpse into the future. A fast-moving, spine-tingling fable of the concrete jungle.’ Daily Express
‘Chilling... Ballard is a prophetic writer’ Sunday Times
