Rise to the Top

May's book will be High-Rise by JG Ballard. This book, originally published in the 1970s, presents a futuristic dystopia that seems very modern, yet very 70s. Bizarre and dark, but strangely comedic and compelling, High-Rise tells the stories of the residents of a self-contained apartment building as they become more and more cut off from the world outside.

Here's an article on some of Ballard's inspiration
