Dr Guess, with the group's help gains control of Extro, the super-computer that controls all mechanical activity on Earth. They plan to rid Earth of political repression and to further Guess's researches - which may lead to a great leap in human evolution to produce a race of supermen.

But how do you kill an immortal?:- Review(s): "Bester writes with wit and energy, and he is unendingly inventive. The treatment of ideas in 'The Computer Connection' is unique, as is its social consciousness and satire" - Bookletter / "Alfred Bester was, and remains, long after his passing, the preeminent Class Act of imaginative literature. Bester was the mountain, all the rest of us merely climbers toward that peak" - Harlan Ellison:- (original cost $6.99). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 15.099.00010
