Three Towers: The Moral Cost of Inequality

In 1975, J.G. Ballard published his eighth and, by my reckoning, his best novel. It was unpretentiously titled  High- Rise. As the name suggests, the narrative is an account of life inside an exclusive forty-storey apartment block in East London. The high-rise is one of five identical glass and concrete units, upraised like the fingers of a colossal hand and positioned around an empty concrete basin - soon to be an ornamental lake.
