I don't know why I didn't save it at the time. It must have grown in importance in my head somehow.<br /><br />How did you like Bester's stories? I found them kind of hit-and-miss. "Demolished Man" is definitely his other great work. I liked "Psychoshop" pretty well too - it was actually my first exposure to the guy. Beyond that, though, I recommend against his other novels.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15493700749333105771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508687179750096771.post-20938321469022227312019-04-05T04:34:35.287-07:002019-04-05T04:34:35.287-07:00I've read Bester's short stories, but have...I've read Bester's short stories, but haven't read "The Demolished Man" yet. <br /><br />While elements of the novel you reference sound familiar, I don't know of any one that contains all of them. Belden's _Land of the Snow Men_ probably comes closest. I'd love to know the title of the book, if you can remember it!Forrest Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05531127358059851571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508687179750096771.post-48030497098368253302019-04-05T04:29:34.510-07:002019-04-05T04:29:34.510-07:00Thanks, Charles!

It isn't as high-concept (there-are-SOME-psychics vs EVERYONE-can-teleport) and probably isn't as famous. I like them both though.<br /><br />By any chance, do you know a recent-ish (probably last 10 years) experimental/avant-garde novel about a team of explorers or mountain climbers in a kind of ambiguous setting? I believe that over the course of the novel, you're supposed to start questioning where they are, what time period it is, and if they're human or some kind of post-human descendants of ours.<br /><br />I ask because you're the only person I know who talks about reading books in that vein. I feel like it might show up on your Amazon recommended list even if you've never read it.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15493700749333105771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508687179750096771.post-67347334719631643922019-04-04T20:54:08.552-07:002019-04-04T20:54:08.552-07:00First time here.
