I know a lot of people here consider SK a meme but I have to say, this book has impacted me like no other. Anyone I've given it to has read it in 1-2 days. I'm looking for other books that explore human beings being gradually pushed up to and over their limits. The more accessible, the better - I probably can't appreciate Dostoevsky or something

Richard Bachman > Stephen King
Bachman actually has a good focus on a nice fast-paced thrilling plot while King writes about his characters drinking and reminiscing about the 50s for 300 pages until something spooky finally happens.

Well, OP, I read this book the same year I read "The Long Walk" (age 12), so maybe you will like it too. It's about human slaves serving aliens in a high-gravity environment, so they're tired all the time.

King is legit, don't be a poseur.
