I read High Rise ages ago, and thought it was brilliant. The movie is forgettable, despite plenty of action and violence.

- logicallee 4y agoThank you. From what you can recall, how does High Rise compare in style and theme to this Report on an Unidentified Space Station? Were the text and themes very similar?
- denton-scratch 4y agoHigh Rise is a novel, not a short story. The themes in High Rise are social/political, not sci-fi. I can't really judge how the texts compare; I read High Rise a long time ago. The tower-block of the title is an allegory for a stratified society, divided by class, gradually breaking down. I'd say it's still relevant - even resonant. But I don't recommend the movie.
