Alfred Bester
From Plastic Tub
American, 1913 - 1987. He comes in via new technology for necro-animatronics. He is dead. He receives a space in the corner of the room, stiff clouds of Lysol Disinfectant and lavish but passing attentions.
Largely a dead man, one of many, who have participated in Associationalist Agendizing. Or did he? William Flintrock says: "He showed up to two, maybe ten parties at most, always blowing off about concrete poetry and wearing a silly rhinestone glove..."
Known Works
The Demolished Man
Stars My Destination
The Computer Collection, for this last he was excommunicated between beers, for his "lack of silence".
