The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester
4.0
Written almost 70 years ago and first recipient of the Hugo award, “Demolished Man,’ is a fervidly paced, “jetted,” read that is a hybrid sci-fi combined with crime and psychology. It is superior to the plot for, ‘Minority Report,’ in the depth of characterization and its philosophical/sociological take on what to do with the murderous individual.
It’ll make you spin on your axis in wonder at the author’s ingenuity and creativity for the date of its publication in 1953. And just as we look at a series like, Mad Men and understand that this time period treated women differently and we can also overlook the sexist content.
