Details

From J. G. Ballard comes a dark, unsettling dystopian novel that explores civilisation’s rapid collapse within the walls of a luxury apartment tower.

The high-rise has everything its residents could want.

Supermarkets. Schools. Restaurants. Pools.

Its wealthy occupants rarely need to leave.

At first, life inside the building feels modern and convenient—but tensions between residents on different floors begin to grow. Small inconveniences escalate into rivalries, then violence.

Class divisions deepen.

Social order breaks down.

And the building becomes its own brutal ecosystem.

Dr. Robert Laing watches as neighbours turn against each other and the high-rise descends into chaos, forcing residents to adapt to increasingly savage conditions.

Disturbing, satirical, and eerily compelling, High-Rise explores class conflict, isolation, and the fragility of modern society.

🌶️ Spice Level: Moderate to High (violence/themes)
