Sladek originally planned Roderick as a single novel in three sections. The first two sections were published separately in 1980 as Roderick, or the Education of a Young Machine; the final section appeared in 1983 as Roderick at Random, or Further Education of a Young Machine. The entire work was finally reissued together in 2001, after Sladek's death, as The Complete Roderick. All the notes on the rest of this site refer to the 2001 Gollancz edition.

Footnotes
- ↑ According to ISFDB, this edition is missing some of the text, but I don't know what part. So, along with the indescribably unpleasant cover art and caption, there are several reasons to avoid it.
