High-Rise - J.G. Ballard When a class war erupts inside a luxurious apartment block, modern elevators become violent battlegrounds and cocktail parties degenerate into marauding attacks on "enemy" floors. In this visionary tale, human society slips into violent reverse as once-peaceful residents, driven by primal urges, re-create a world ruled [...]
By Lília We love our books, and we also love to see them turn into blockbusters, tv movies and series, but most of the times the book is better than whichever screen format it receives to be shown to the world. As an avid reader, I was enchanted by Dune, with [...]
