Résumé

Within the walls of an elegant forty-storey tower block, the affluent tenants are hellbent on an orgy of destruction. Cocktail parties degenerate into marauding attacks on enemy floors and the once luxurious amenities become an arena for technological mayhem. In this visionary tale from the bestselling author of Crash, Empire of the Sun, Cocaine Nights and Super-Cannes, society slips into a violent reverse as the inhabitants of the high-rise, driven by primal urges, recreate a world ruled by the laws of the jungle.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de J. G. Ballard

J. G. Ballard was born in 1930 in Shanghai, China, where his father was a businessman. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Ballard and his family were placed in a civilian prison camp. They returned to England in 1946. After two years at Cambridge, where he read medicine, Ballard worked as a copywriter and Covent Garden porter before going to Canada with the RAF. He started writing short stories in the late 1950s, while working on a scientific journal.
His first major novel, The Drowned world, was published in 1962. His acclaimed novels include The Crystal World, The Atrocity Exhibition, Crash (filmed by David Cronenberg), High-Rise, The Unlimited Dream Company, The Kindness of Women (the sequel to Empire of the Sun), Cocaine Nights, Super-Cannes, Millennium People and, most recently, Kingdom Come.
