Book Overview
"Ricker stands alone in the science fiction pantheon as some kind of trickster god of the computer science lab.... He is a peerless genius."--SF Site Rudy Rucker's early cyberpunk novel mixes a unique vision of a future with hippie humor, true love, and gonzo sensibilities. In the future, society is run by a computer, Phizwiz; America is simply Us, a collection of Users known as Drones and Dreamers, near-automatons whose every need is provided for. But Phizwiz lacks creativity, and its vapid entertainment is becoming unfulfilling, especially for curious young Vernor Maxwell. Seeking to add a creative soul to Phizwiz, a hard-partying elite has learned how to plug their minds into the computer. Joining them, Vernor finds a way to build a scale-ship--and becomes an incredible shrinking man. He soon tunnels down below the atomic level and finds himself at the intergalactic top--with the power to smash the machine, once and for all. . . . Night Shade Books' ten-volume series with Rudy Rucker collects nine of the brilliantly weird novels for which the mathematician-turned-author is known, as well as a tenth, never-before-published book, Million Mile Road Trip. We're proud to collect in one place so much of the work of this influential figure in the early cyberpunk scene, and to share Rucker's fascinating, unique worldview with an entirely new generation of readers.

This book changed my life
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Although, I like White Light better, this book, Spacetime Donuts changed my life. I almost felt like it was written with me in mind :). The adventures of Vernor Maxwell and Mick Stones with the Professor is a story that inspired me to write this review. I hope that my Alice shows up just like at the end of the book. It caused me to write my own comic book. :) How about that? Pick it up if you can and see for once and for all, who the real King of the Cyperpunks is.
Rucker's First Novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Awesome first novel by the man quite a few of us know and love. Like most rucker it easily blends complicated math theory and silly adventures based on the Rudy Rucker's own life (Hmmm, well isn't that something!). Fantabulishous! Mmmm Hmmm.
