Finished the book a few weeks ago. It was really enjoyable, the whole plot as a metaphor was maybe a bit shallow, great book nonetheless.

I only came in touch with Ballard because I saw Wheatley is directing this. A Field In England was pretty great.

No one? Only partly /lit/-related, but still.

I am! High Rise is one of my fav Bellard reads, even though like you said, it's a bit obvious.

Have you read Empire Of The Sun or watched the movie? So much of his childhood appears all over his writing

I'm reading Crash right now. I'm a few chapters in and it reads like something by an edge-lord. Does it get better?

If it's anything like the film, it'll be the most disappointing piece of art you've experienced

No it doesn't get better, I'm >>7519290 and Crash is my least favorite Ballard novel (it's also very different from his other, more SF stuff)

Only read High-Rise so far. I wanted to go on to Concrete Island. Would you recommend it?

How about some impressions from the trailer? I have to say they managed to catch the vibe I had when reading the book.

Concrete island is pretty interesting. I thought crash was shite apart, although his descriptions were always fun.
