Review: The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester

Published in 1956, "The Stars My Destination" is a classic science fiction novel that tells the story of Gully Foyle's relentless quest for revenge across space and time. How can a book that was written 70 years ago feel so very modern yet still display such archaic attitudes? (Apologies for the dip in audio quality just before the 9:00 mark - this idiot decided to scratch his neck on camera resulting in the wireless mike moving out of position)
