![]() ![]() It's set in a tall high rise 'sliver' building where residents keep mysteriously dying and where there are secretly cameras hidden in every room spying on all the residents. Ira Levin's book Sliver also has these ideas. All three books are pretty transgressive in terms of their explicit subject matter too, have detailed visual descriptions of the architecture & designs of the cutting edge technology, and all three have the progressive technology of their worlds having untold psychosexual effects on the characters that cause them to regress back to primitive/animalistic states rather than progress. ![]() Ballard's books Crash, Concrete Island and High Rise are part of a thematic trilogy with all three books exploring the artificial man-made urban world and the relationship of man vs his technologically-enhanced environment. ![]()
