Présentation de l'éditeur
Alfred Bester's first science fiction novel since THE STARS MY DESTINATION was a major event, a fast-moving adventure story set in the Earth's future. A band of immortals, as charming a bunch of eccentrics as you'll ever come across, recruit a new member, the brilliant Cherokee physicist Sequoya Guess.
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 Extro takes over Guess instead and turns malevolent. The task of the merry suddenly becomes a fight in deadly earnest for the future of the Earth. Sequoya Guess, whom they love, must be killed. And how do you kill an immortal?

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.
