Who He? (also published as The Rat Race) is a general-fiction novel published in 1953 by Alfred Bester, an author best known for his science fiction. The book was republished in 2007; as of 2015, it is available for purchase from Wildside Press. The novel provides a detailed—if somewhat madcap—view of the early days of television production in New York City, before most of the industry relocated to California.
