Review
"Rucker is an artist well worth discovering,reading, andkeeping up with. His novels sparkle with deadpan wit and a naturalstoryteller's flair, blending mathematical speculation, Hilbert space,rock'n'roll, drugs, and sex with imaginative ideas worthy ofH.G.Wells." -- WashingtonPost Book World.
"One of the writers we will follow into the new future." -- RaleighSpectator.
