A review by fraggle42
High-Rise by J.G. Ballard
4.0
"Later, as he sat on his balcony eating the dog, Dr Robert Laing reflected on the unusual events that had taken place within this huge apartment building during the previous three months."
The story of the residents of a new self contained (ie. its had its own shops/bank/school) apartment block and their descent into barbarism as the services in the building start to fail.
An interesting look at what might happen once we start building arcologies and mega tenements and things start to go wrong.
