I can recommend the excellent novels Concrete Island [0] and High-Rise [1] from the same author.

I mean that author is JG Ballard, he’s a legend with many classic works. There’s like at least two or three dozen articles, short story collections and novels of his that are worth reading. He’s one of the top dystopian fiction writers of all time.

		(You're right—I was responding I guess simply to the author's name, not the genre being discussed).
