15. The Demolished Man - Alfred Bester *

Winner of the first Hugo award in 1953. Great murder investigation story (we know who did it, so it isn't a mystery) in a world with espers. For a 50+ year old book, I found it interesting that only the user interface to the computer felt dated - the rest of the story and tech fit well.
