Summary:

Before his untimely death in 1987, Alfred Bester had established himself as one of the world's greatest science fiction writers. From radio to television, short fiction to full-length novels, he created a body of work that will be continued to be enjoyed by generations of readers for all time.

Now, redemolished brings together, for the first time in one volume, the full range of his genius: -- The never before printed, complete 3,000 word prologue of his classic novel The Demolished Man-- The extraordinary classic science-fiction tale, "Hell is Forever"-- Bester's shocking pre-cyberpunk stories, such as "The Four Hour Fuge"
