Review: The Computer Connection

User Review  - Kevin - Goodreads

I absolutely loved some of Bester's other works, but in comparison, The Computer Connection falls flat. The plot and premise are great, but the presentation could have been better in my opinion. I still liked the story, but wanted more of something. Read full review

Review: The Computer Connection

User Review  - John - Goodreads

I read the original release of this book and consider this to be the grandfather of cyberpunk novels. For all that it's a short novel it's jam packed with vivid imagery. Find it, read it. Read full review

User Review  - Nick - Goodreads

Although somewhat dated now, this is still a very good Alfred Bester novel, which means it is a very good story. Read full review

User Review  - Keith Jones - Goodreads

I know I read this. I know I did. But, I swear that I cannot remember a single thing about it. Immortals? Okay, yeah, that sounds vaguely familiar. All I remember is that it was nowhere near as good as The Stars My Destination or The Demolished Man. Read full review

Review: The Computer Connection

User Review  - Erik Graff - Goodreads

Amusing science fiction adventure by a master of the genre. Many of the characters are actual historical figures, a plus for me. Read full review

Review: The Computer Connection

User Review  - Thomas Baughman - Goodreads

Wasn't horrible, but it was not equal to Bester's earlier novels, THE STARS MY DESTINATION and THE DEMOLISHED MAN. Read full review

Review: The Computer Connection

User Review  - François - Goodreads

A fun read the first time I read it (30 years ago) though I'm pretty sure I did understand everything then. Should read it again now. Read full review
