5.0 out of 5 stars
Time for a new edition of this!,
By
This review is from: Transreal! (Hardcover)
My copy of this great book is in a box somewhere, but I have a powerful hankerin' to read it again. New edition, please! This is the best distillation of Rucker's odd writing-- odd but wonderful. He's almost never without his tongue thrust firmly in his cheek in these stories, but the scientific and mathematical principles he's dealing with are thoroughly discussed and dissected. It's HARD to describe Rucker-- better to read some of his novels (Master of Space and Time, Wetware/Software/Freeware, The Sex Sphere, White Light, the Hollow Earth), all of which show a loose, easygoing style mixed with challenging theory-- kind of a cross between JD Salinger and Larry Niven. (But better than that sounds...) Anyway, Transreal! is a great collection of Rucker's short stories, many of which I remember well even 10 years later-- try out "The 57th Franz Kafka" and you'll see what I mean. If you find a reasonably-priced copy of this, leap!
