s3yang Wrote:I'm thinking you may have mixed another book into this or something. The protagonist of one of Bester's other books (Tiger! Tiger! AKA The Stars My Destination) has reality warping powers. The main character in the Demolished man is pretty much just psychotic. I don't think he even had active powers in the book, think he was a latent psychic. Mind you, it's been quite a long time since I've read it too.The wikipedia entry on the book agrees with your recollections: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Demolished_Man
