I read The Man Who Fell To Earth first, and was a little disappointed by this read. Not bad though. ( )

Fascinating idea, not executed as well as it could be, but it will stick with you. ( )

Very interesting dystopian book that takes place around the 2400's. It's very interesting how the author chose to make different levels of robots, none of which were very intelligent. Usually, robot societies are overcome by the robots, but in this book, society is overcome by just one robot. A suicidal robot. Interesting read. ( )

The Empire State Building stands as a tombstone to a dead civilization haunted by the literate thoughts of three dimly aware radicals. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345431626, Paperback)

Mockingbird is a powerful novel of a future world where humans are dying.  Those that survive spend their days in a narcotic bliss or choose a quick suicide rather than slow extinction. Humanity's salvation rests with an android who has no desire to live, and a man and a woman who must discover love, hope, and dreams of a world reborn.
