Rudy Rucker - Hylozoic
Just finished this book. It's very good. Just good is this book? Well I done some calculations and come up with this theory, it's weird multiplied by wonderful and then raised to the power of amazing! Looking for a fun story about Teleporting, Alien Manta Rays, Surfing, Infinity, Alef-null, Time travel, Bosch (yes Hieronymus Bosch the painter)? Well this book has all these and more. It's set in a post singularity world where everything has come "alive". Stones, rivers, trees, houses and you can talk to them all. This is done via a thought process called "Teep". It sounds mad, but it's done in an utterly convincing matter of fact manner. After a few days reading this book I found myself wishing I could "Teep" the fridge to find out what was in there. As with all Rudy Rucker books this is an easy read, the story moves along at a very lively pace. The only times I stopped reading was to ponder the amazing ideas. |
