A Cosmic Coincidence - [2 Books Reviewed]

I picked my latest two reads at random from two different shelves and found a coincidental through-line in the themes, concepts and terminologies. The books covered in this video are:
Time is the Simplest Thing by Clifford D. Simak (1961)
The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester (1952)

Thanks Heidi! I think I forgot to do it in one of my videos and was kicking myself after because I do like to present them in this way.

Great review!
I have to give Demolished Man a shot at some point. The book has been sitting on my shelf for quite some time. 😂

It's a nice quick read with consistent pacing, definitely a great SF classic to get under your belt with relatively little time investment. Thanks again Bart!

I did not have any luck with Bester. Didn't like Stars, My Destination at all. How similar would you say The Demolished Man is to Stars (other than the formating quirk you mentioned)? I want to give Bester a fair shot, but I'm hesitant.

It's fairly similar in terms of style but perhaps the police procedural plot will be more to your tastes than the broader scope of The Stars My Destination. It's always difficult when you don't vibe with such a highly regarded author, I feel the same way about Heinlein.
