5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for Bester fans - intriguing for anyone, 5 Jan 2002
By T. D. Welsh (Basingstoke, Hampshire UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Redemolished (Paperback)
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 cultural, psychological and philosophical background, Bester anticipated (by over 20 years) acclaimed writers like William Gibson and the cyberpunk school.

This book presents a lot of Bester'w work that would otherwise be inaccessible. It packs ten stories, half a dozen articles, and interviews with John Huston, Rex Stout, Woody Allen, Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein into its 500-plus pages. Some of the writing is raw, but it is never dull or predictable, and for a fan it is fascinating to trace the evolution of Bester's style and read his own explanation of how and why he wrote that way.

Having seen this book in the public library, I borrowed it and revoured it over Christmas. Although I have read every page, I am now buying a copy. I am not willing to risk being unable to get hold of it again. Bester died in 1988, unfairly neglected, and this book is the closest anyone can get to meeting him.

5.0 out of 5 stars T.D. Welsh has said it all ..., 25 April 2006
I wanted to write a rave review for this book. But I see I have been beaten to the punch by T.D. Welsh, who has said it all, and in a much better way than I ever could.

However, I didn't want that to stop me from giving this book a five star rating. Once I started reading it, I could hardly put it down. It's got one of my all time favourite short stories, "Push of a Button", which I think I first encountered in the Astounding Analog readers of -- well, quite some time ago!

If you like Bester's work, this is a must have. If you like science fiction, this is still pretty much a must have.
