Description
Dr. Robert Laing is the newest resident of a luxurious apartment in a high-tech concrete skyscraper whose lofty location places him amongst the upper class. But as power outages become more frequent and building flaws emerge, particularly on the lower floors, the regimented social strata begins to crumble and the building becomes a battlefield in a literal class war.Tags

Really not sure how I feel about this one. Inspired or insane? I need a little more reason for why they wouldn't just leave. It will be interesting to see the movie, and honestly Tom Hiddleston reading it, and being in the movie is the draw for me. It is well written for certain, I just don't quite feel their need to stay.
3.5 stars. The audio read by Tom Hiddleston is really good. He does a really great job with the different voices for all the different characters. Pretty crazy book though!
2022 movie #34. 2015. A doctor (Hiddleston) moves into a new high rise apartment building. When the building starts having problems, like periodic power outages, chaos reigns, society breaks down and the lower floors war with the upper floors. Total bonkers movie.
