Apparently, there is an Alfred Bester I have never read. I thought The Deceivers was another title for The Computer Connection. But it's late Bester and late Bester is ... not good.

The short stories are very much worth reading.

Though when asked to name his favourite story for a collection, he said "none", and that they were all failures. In the collection, edited by Mills, I think, he instead gave some interesting comments on his writing process, with excerpts from his commonplace book, including material much later included in golem**100.

I believe there's also a novel based on advertising, but I've never tracked it down.
