The book is a dystopian tale that explores the breakdown of civilization within the confines of a state-of-the-art, luxury high-rise building. Designed to cater to every need of its affluent residents, the building instead becomes the setting for a violent social collapse. As amenities fail and tribalism takes hold, the residents become increasingly isolated from the outside world. The narrative follows the building's descent into chaos, with the once-civilized inhabitants devolving into anarchy, driven by primal instincts and a struggle for power, ultimately revealing the thin veneer of societal norms and the dark potential of human nature when stripped of its social context.
