SUMMARY:High Rise - J. G. Ballard - Part of our BEST OF BRITISH season
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThis is our first book in our BEST OF BRITISH season\, whic
 h will feature some of the best of old and new British SF writers.\n\nFrom
  the author of ‘Crash’ and ‘Cocaine Nights’ comes an unnerving tal
 e of life in a modern tower block running out of control. Within the conce
 aling walls of an elegant forty-storey tower block\, the affluent tenants 
 are hell-bent on an orgy of destruction. Cocktail parties degenerate into 
 marauding attacks on ‘enemy’ floors and the once-luxurious amenities b
 ecome an arena for riots and technological mayhem.\n\nIn this visionary ta
 le of urban disillusionment society slips into a violent reverse as the is
 olated inhabitants of the high-rise\, driven by primal urges\, create a dy
 stopian world ruled by the laws of the jungle.\n\nThis edition is part of 
 a new commemorative series of Ballard’s works\, featuring introductions 
 from a number of his admirers (including Iain Sinclair\, Ali Smith and Mar
 tin Amis) and brand-new cover designs.\n\n
