Erm. Because it's by Neal Stephenson. I enjoy his work a lot, but reading it requires Effort. With a capital "E".
Bester the psi-cop was named after Bester the author, who was very good indeed. The Demolished Man and The Stars My Destination are both fairly short and excellent; I think they're both in print at the moment.
