The World Inside by Robert Silverberg is $3 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo US.
There are a number of these 'everyone lives in a gigantic building' novels in sci-fi land (The Caves of Steel, High Rise and Oath of Fealty spring to mind) and I have a fondness for them. I read The World Inside earlier this year and recommend it. Quote:
