Rudy Rucker's fiction has always fascinated me, mostly for the way he plays with philosophical and scientific themes and questions, working them out as the story proceeds, and for his evident fascination with and delight in this universe. In his memoir, he continues that practice with his usual verve, humor and frankness. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Nested Scrollsreveals the true-life adventures of Rudolf von Bitter "Rudy" Rucker--mathematician, transrealist author, punk rocker, and computer hacker. It begins with a young boy growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, the son of a businessman father who becomes a clergyman, and a mother descended from the philosopher Hegel. His career goals? To explore infinity, popularize the fourth dimension, seek the gnarl, become a beatnik writer, and father a family. All the while Rudy is reading science fiction and beat poetry, and beginning to write some pretty strange fiction of his own--a blend of Philip K. Dick and hard SF that qualifies him as part of the original circle of writers in the early 1980s that includes Bruce Sterling, William Gibson, John Shirley, and Lewis Shiner, who were the founders of cyberpunk. At one level, Rucker's genial and unfettered memoir brings us a firsthand account of how he and his contemporaries ushered in our postmodern world. At another, this is the wry and moving tale of a man making his way from one turbulent century to the next. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
