For 1952 I'm reading The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester. It's good but not compelling, probably because the main character wants to murder someone, and the main theme is about a world where telepaths exist. I just can't believe in telepathy. We hardly ever see telepathy used in science fiction stories anymore, although it was very common in the 1950s. I wonder how many science fictional concepts have become extinct?
