Overview

Also known as "starscrapers" or "stratoscrapers" (compare skyscraper), they are the most common form of mass-housing in Mega-City One, averaging a population of 60,000.

Although Block Wars are common enough in Mega-City One, orgies are more common, when three quarters of the city started fucking each other, the Judges knew that there must be some outside force inspiring the violence. Indeed the sex, which came to be known as "Dick Mania", was caused by a Sov drug which had been put into Mega-City One's water supply by Orlock, the East-Meg One asshole.
