Spacetime Donuts

The birth of cyberpunk! A seaweed smoking rebel becomes an incredible shrinking man. Under the bottom is the top-and the power to smash the Machine. After humanity becomes inextricably linked to the computers, a heroic couple makes a scale ship journey beneath the smallest particles and through the largest cosmic structures, seeking a perfect world. Rudy Rucker is a writer, mathematician, and computer scientist, with thirty two published books. In the 1980s, he received Philip K. Dick Awards for his cyberpunk novels Software and Wetware. He took up painting in 1999 and has had three shows of his pop surreal works in San Francisco. His fantastic novel of the afterlife, Jim and the Films, appeared in 2011, as did his memoir, Nested Scrolls: A Writer's Life. Rucker is presently working on a 1950s science fiction novel called The Turing Chronicles, featuring a love affair between computer pioneer Alan Turing and Beat author William Burroughs. Rucker also edits the speculative fiction webzine Flurb. Recent works include his autobiography, Nested Scrolls; a book of his paintings, Better Worlds; a science fiction novel, The Big Aha; and a new edition of his Kerouac-style novel All the Visions.
