>tfw scene on the cover is actually in book
Cover alone is almost enough to sell it. Being a Zelazny seals the deal.
Actually 3 shorts. Sci-Fi detective stories with the same MC, the first two of which do not feature robots. Cover is great for building tension toward the final climax of part 3. Zelanzy delivers with his usual flair (more apparent in parts 2-3) and I couldn't help but consider parallels with Asimov's whodonits, though less cerebral.
An enjoyable quick read whose main conceit (a man who evades tracking by the Central Data Authority) is as germane now as it was in '69. I award this 4/5 bardic dolphins.
