Alfred Bester: The Demolished Man (Artifice Politics)
Alfred Bester... a hard-sf writer buried in the body of a florid linguistic dandy. The Demolished Man is one of Besters best known novels, and for anyone who appreciates the density of the Media environment in which humanity finds itself trapped in increasingly smaller concentricitys, a candy store of novelistic complication. Highly psychological, but overlaid with an artifice that seems to be the end result of putting technology into the interface between individual organic thalamaic response nodes. If you know what I mean.
