Who He? (also published as The Rat Race) is a non-science-fiction novel by the science fiction author Alfred Bester, published in 1953. The book was republished in 2007 and as of 2015 is available for purchase from Wildside Press. It provides a detailed if somewhat madcap view of the early days of television production in New York City before most tv production moved west to California.
A TV game show writer, waking up after an alcoholic blackout, discovers that someone is out to destroy his life.
Groff Conklin in 1954 advised readers of Galaxy to not miss "Bester's savage picture of television production".[1]
