-FUPPETS- For Readers XXXIX - RUDY RUCKER
Welcome to the 39th edition of -FUPPETS- For Readers. The dude above, a cyberpunk bad-ass named Rudy Rucker , may look like a congenial, affable guy, but in his head a shit-storm of FREAKOUT is constantly whirlpooling about. If you want to explore this regulated chaos, then you should head to your favorite book store or library and grab a copy of any of these titles. SOFTWARE - WETWARE - FREEWARE - REALWARE - THE HOLLOW EARTH - THE HACKER & THE ANTS - GNARL - AS ABOVE, SO BELOW: A NOVEL OF PETER BRUEGEL - POSTSINGULAR - HYLOZOIC They will surely have you laughing at the same time as they blow your puny little mind away. Rudy Rucker's stories gnaw at the brain, for they are not only hard sci-fi in which topics such as virtual reality, consciousness, human evolution, cybernetics, and such are explored. They are also often hilarious, scary, and overwhelming in their scope. He has also written historical fiction, fantasy titles, as well as a wide range of non-fiction books. Check it out. You will not be disappointed. The video below is a long lecture given at a symposium in Japan by Rudy Rucker describing life processes as a gnarly computation. RUDY RUCKER - What is Life?
