Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Tim White (illustrator). 1st Edition. © 1983: 1st in the 'Roderick' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Roderick wasn't exactly happy, but at least he was holding down a job, even if it was only as a bowl-washer at Danton's Doggie Dinette. He didn't know they were out to get him. He didn't know that in the whole wide world of lunatic game-shows, maniacal religious cults, tentacular business corporations, murderous governments, crazy consumerism and pill-popping people, there was no place for one mild-mannered robot:- Reviews: "Phenomenally inventive, bitingly satirical, a masterpiece of modern comic writing, 'Roderick At Random' is the second dazzling novel by John Sladek to feature the more-and-less-than-human robot"" / "A classic novel. It reeks simultaneously of 'Candide', 'Catch-22', 'Player Piano', 'The Wizard Of Oz" - Guardian / "Hilarious and serious" - Sunday Times / "Superb. Comparable with - at times even overtaking - early Kurt Vonnegut" - Time Out:- (original cost £1.95).

Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Ray Winder (illustrator). 1982 Edition. © 1980: 1st in the 'Roderick' series of books. 1st printing of 1982 edition:- Synopsis: He isn't human; but he isn't all robot either. He started life in a lab, went to Parochial School, was kidnapped by gypsies, chased by roboticidal, and incompetent, hit-men, told fortunes on the Midway, and finally fostered by an elderly couple who gave up writing science fiction when their stories came true. He's Roderick, the first robot programmed to think and learn, and sent out into the world to re-invent it:- Reviews: "Prodigious, dazzling, inventive, 'Roderick' is a modern masterpiece, a fabulous joyride through the whole crazy, zany funhouse of modern existence, and a parable about all human life" / "A classic novel. It reeks simultaneously of 'Candide', 'Catch-22', 'Player Piano', 'The Wizard Of Oz" - Guardian / "Superb. Comparable with - at times even overtaking - early Kurt Vonnegut" - Time Out / "John Sladek is a science fiction writer whose novels are driven by an incisive, literate humour. In fact he is downright funny. Mr Sladek's latest satire is up to his usual high standard. One of the few serious achievements in a medium which is rapidly exchanging innovation for self-indulgence. The prose is stunning, the characterisation immaculate, the insights unique: 'Roderick' is a small masterpiece" - Now! / Hilarious and serious. Sladek is a major comic talent" - Sunday Times:- (original cost £1.95).
