High-Rise: A Novel

<p><strong>"Harsh and ingenious! <em>High Rise</em> is an intense and vivid bestiary, which lingers unsettlingly in the mind." ―Martin Amis, <em>New Statesman</em></strong></p> When a class war erupts inside a luxurious apartment block, modern elevators become violent battlegrounds and cocktail parties degenerate into marauding attacks on “enemy” floors. In this visionary tale, human society slips into violent reverse as once-peaceful residents, driven by primal urges, re-create a world ruled by the laws of the jungle.
