From the author of `Crash' and `Cocaine Nights' comes an unnerving
tale of life in a modern tower block running out of control. Within
the concealing 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 become an arena for riots and
technological mayhem. In this visionary tale of urban
disillusionment society slips into a violent reverse as the
isolated inhabitants of the high-rise, driven by primal urges,
create a dystopian world ruled by the laws of the jungle. This
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, Neil Gaiman and Martin Amis) and
brand-new cover designs.
