In Seek!, cybersage Rudy Rucker casts his gaze on what more or less passes for reality. The essays and memoirs collected in Seek! trace Rucker's trajectory through the final decade of the second millennium. His topics include: artificial life, the big bang, Peter Brueghel, chaos, The church o the subgenius, live sex, mathematics, science fiction, and TV evangelism. A computer scientist and programmer, Rucker is an articulate, engaged, and ideal guide to the world on either side of the computer screen.
Review:
"[SEEK!] is a frenzied, sometimes spastic tour of Rucker's life story and driving obsessions. Die-hard fans...love snippets of an author's life, and hero worship aside, it's a pleasure to read the wry and often profound observations of someone accustomed to viewing himself through the filters of sci-fi, mathematics, and a strong dose of unrestrained playfulness."
John Alderman, Wired, August 1999
Review:"SEEK is full of goofy stories...interspersed with optimistic reports on cool new technologies. Together they make this collection, much of which was written in the late '80s and early '90s, an extended flashback to the Net's carefree period. Its bad-boy quality is a welcome antidote to the banal avarice that's enervated the tech world."
Etelka Lehoczky, Salon, 06/30/1999
