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). Seller Inventory # 18.003.00487
