Concrete Island By J G Ballard

Driving home one Friday rush hour, a cocky young architect crashes down a motorway embankment.

At first he seems bound to be rescued, but as he fails to make the passing commuters notice him, he finds himself trapped on a strange, neglected island between the highways.

Can this modern day Crusoe survive in a strange new world?
