內容簡介

電影《摩天樓》原著小說

  作者James Graham "J. G." Ballard擅長建造末日世界反映當代人類處境,曾以《太陽帝國》備受讚譽,被評為英國最好看的當代小說之一

  Coming in March 2016 from acclaimed director Ben Wheatley, a major motion picture adaptation of J. G. Ballard’s compelling and unnerving tale of what happens when life in a luxury apartment building descends into chaos, starring Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans and Elisabeth Moss.

  ‘Later, as he sat on his balcony eating the dog, Dr Robert Laing reflected on the unusual events that had taken place within this huge apartment building during the previous three months.’

  Within the walls of a high-tech forty-storey high-rise, the residents are hell-bent on an orgy of sex and destruction, answering to primal urges that their utopian surroundings can’t satisfy. The high-rise is a would-be paradise turned dystopia, ruled by intimidation and violence, and, as the residents organize themselves for war, floor against floor, no one wants it to stop …

  Critical Praise

  ‘Ballard’s finest novel … a triumph’ The Times

  ‘ingenious … ‘High-Rise’ is an intense and vivid bestiary, which lingers unsettlingly in the mind’ Martin Amis

  ‘Chilling … Ballard is a prophetic writer’ Sunday Times

  ‘The writing is cool, the observation exact, the idea bold and well-developed; everything seems to demand attention and analysis’ Financial Times

  ‘The terrifying thing about Ballard is his logic; is this science fiction or history written ahead of its time?’ Len Deighton —
