Spring 2020, May - The Stars My Destination

Club Rating: 3.3/5 (4 People)

A science fiction classic, Alfred Bester's 1956 novel—originally published as Tiger! Tiger!, imagines a future in which people "jaunte" a thousand miles with a single thought, where the rich barricade themselves in labyrinths and protect themselves with radioactive hit men—and where an inarticulate outcast is the most valuable and dangerous man alive. Reprinted in 1996 by Vintage with an introduction by Neil Gaiman, The Stars My Destination remains a classic of technological prophecy and timeless narrative enchantment by an acknowledged master of science fiction.
