The Demolished Man is a science fiction novel by American writer Alfred Bester, which won the first Hugo Award in 1953. An inverted detective story, the novel was first serialized in three parts, beginning with the January 1952 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine, followed by publication of the novel in 1953. The novel is dedicated to Galaxy's editor, H. L. Gold, who offered suggestions during its writing. Bester's original title was Demolition!, but Gold persuaded him to change it. - Wikipedia

Alfred Bester's first novel is a stunning thriller featuring telepathy and murder in the 24th century, spanning the solar system, featuring characters with 1/4 and @ in their names, which makes it feel quite contemporary ,unlike much 50s sci-fi.
