Best sci fi
I've been reading sci fi for years yet I was like a blind man until I read Tiger Tiger aka The star's my destination by Alfred Bester. He manages to fit so much in a few pages. It's fast paced and action packed, yet slow enough for you to catch every gem, which you ...

The Demolished Man

Alfred Bester

Vintage, 1996

Winner of the First Hugo Award
Not to be too gushy, but this 1951 classic is one of THE towering classics of 1950's hardcore Science Fiction, and it's the winner of the very FIRST EVER HUGO AWARD. As if that wasn't praise enough, J.M. Straczynski, the creator of the highly acclaimed and award ...

Golem 100

Pocket, 1981

Senseeing and Seesensing
This old book doesn't quite have the immortal greatness of Bester's two masterpieces, The Stars My Destination and The Demolished Man. Those two classics deserve to be rediscovered due to their sheer relentless weirdness and Bester's very strange and vivid imagination. ...

Essential reading for Bester fans - intriguing for anyone
For anyone who has read "The Demolished Man" or "The Stars my Destination" (aka "Tiger! Tiger!") Alfie Bester needs no introduction. His brand of science fiction is, as far as I know, unique in its sheer energy. In his blending of scientific ideas with eclectic ...

Alfred Bester, Roger Zelazny

Vintage, 1998

Good, thought provoking book
I picked this book up because I thought the title and the cover seemed pretty interesting. Once I started reading I couldn't stop, which is rare for me because I prefere TV. Yet i sat there for a few long sessions and finished the book. I think the books views and ...

The Deceivers

Alfred Bester

I Books, 2004

Nothing new, but the old is damn good
I don't have too much to say about this book, except that it is deffinately worth reading. I've seen most of the concepts preseted in this book (chemically altered super genius, shapeshifting aliens, human/alien marriages, etc.) but everything a new twist, a special ...

Tender Loving Rage

Alfred Bester

Tafford Publishing, Incorporated, 1991

Alfred Bester's Last Book!
Having just finished reading Alfred Bester's "Tender Loving Rage" I am left with a sense of "unfinished harmony," which seems a greater achievement, in retrospect, than a narrative whose form reaches some kind of completion. Somehow, a book that manages to tie up ...

Computer Connection

Alfred Bester

Berkley, 1976

Fun, Fast and Far Ahead of Its Time
This is a great piece of SF adventure. It presages cyberpunk and does a better job of creating an underground society of eccentric immortals that The Highlander ever hoped to. The novel is fast-paced, full of satirical gems, and funny as all get-out. But at the same ...
