..... is Reich, ridden by the nightmare of a faceless man whom he
later identifies as a business rival, D'Courtney. Helped, but also
jeopardized by the Espers with their special powers of telepathy,
Reich kills his man but cannot escape evidence for a conviction.
But Reich is still left with his nemesis- the Man With No
Face-until he is reconverted from demolition towards a new life. A
new language (could it be esperanto?) and symbols for what is
basically a scrimmage of man against man. (Kirkus Reviews)
In the year 2301, guns are only museum pieces and benign telepaths
sweep the minds of the populace to detect crimes before they
happen. In 2301 murder is virtually impossible, but one man is
about to change that ... Ben Reich, a psychopathic business
magnate, has devised the ultimate scheme to eliminate the
competition and destroy the order of his society. The Demolished
Man is a masterpiece of imaginative suspense, set in a superbly
imagined world in which everything has changed except the ancient
instinct for murder.
