By Walter Tevis Mockingbird (S.F.Masterworks S.) (New Ed)

This is one of the best books ever written and hard to find. Even some of the expected surviving icons (Sears) make it interesting. Thoroughly great transasction

One of the best sci fi books I've ever read tevis is a unique author that really makes you feel like you're part of the story to bad he didn't write many books they are all excellent

Amazingly good story with beautiful use of language, published in 1980 and almost every word rings true today. When I read, I fold the corner of the page over when there is a line or scene I especially like. I have a lot of folded over pages on this one. A few examples (no plot spoilers): "You know what work is these days. They have to deactivate robots to find things to pay us for doing."; "'Is there a date now? Does this year have a number?' He looked at me coldly. 'No, there is no date.' I would like to know the date. I would like for my child to have a birth date.'"; "Nothing in my education - my stupid, life-hating education - had prepared me for what I was about to do"; "Since no one had devised a way of making cars safe in the hands of a human driver, it was decided to discontinue them." It's a very moving story that transcends the SF genre and is refreshingly free of political correctness. Really super stuff.
