Book description
Punk-rock SF! Nuclear terrorists, a political kidnapping, and a giant
woman from the fourth dimension. Say goodbye to the old world. This
literary tour de force explores the landscape of the higher dimensions
with the humor and vigor of an underground cartoon. At the same time, it
manages to be a heartfelt and realistic depiction of a contemporary
marriage. Rudy Rucker is a writer, a mathematician, and a computer
scientist with thirty-two published books. In the 1980s he received
Philip K. Dick awards for his cyberpunk novels SOFTWARE and WETWARE. He
took up painting in 1999, and hes had three shows of his pop-surreal
works in San Francisco. His fantastic novel of the afterlife, JIM AND
THE FLIMS appeared in 2011, as did his memoir, NESTED SCROLLS: A
WRITER'S LIFE. Rudy is presently working on a 1950s SF novel called THE
TURING CHRONICLES, featuring a love affair between computer pioneer Alan
Turing and Beat author William Burroughs. Rudy also edits a speculative
fiction webzine called FLURB.
