Man Alone: Alienation in Modern Society. Eric and Mary Josephson, eds. New York: Dell, 1962.

An anthology of essays and selections, "from Karl Marx to James Baldwin, from Dostoyevsky to Ignazio Silone," on alienation. Includes B. Bettelheim, "Joey" (q.v.) and selections from L. Mumford, C. Wright Mills, and William H. Whyte. An excellent introd. to the concept of alienation, an important theme in much dystopian fiction.
