Description
High Rise is a vivid and unsettling portrayal of a society in chaos. When a class war erupts inside a luxurious apartment block, the modern elevators become battlegrounds and social norms break down.
In this thought-provoking novel, human society is forced to regress to a world governed by primal urges, as once-peaceful residents turn violent and marauding attacks on "enemy" floors become commonplace.
A haunting and intense exploration of the darker aspects of human nature, High Rise is a gripping and unsettling read that will linger in the mind long after finishing the book.
