<b>Praise for <i>White Light</i></b><br /><br /> “<i>White Light</i> is a good, intelligent, powerful novel, and <b>the most auspicious debut in the SF field since I don’t know when</b>.” —Thomas M. Disch, <i>Fantasy & Science Fiction</i><br /><br /> “In <i>White Light</i> Rucker commandingly synthesizes mysticism, pop imagery, the Devil Himself, Jesus Christ, the great mathematicians and their ideas, ‘head culture,’ and even voodoo into a novel that takes us on <b>a wild journey to infinity, to the Absolute, and back again</b>. As for sheer writing, there’s probably no one like him.” —John Shirley <br /><br /> “<b>A marvelously inventive and lunatically logical story</b>, where not only is the scaling of infinity a mad, convincing adventure, but where ordinary human happiness matters too movingly.” —Ian Watson, <i>Vector</i><br /><br /> “An adventure through time and space, the likes of which only a collaboration between Umberto Eco and Lewis Carroll could attempt . . . <b>each turned corner of <i>White Light</i> is another gleeful surprise</b>, another celebration of cleverness and imagination.” —<i>Amazon.com</i><br /><br /><b>Praise for Rudy Rucker</b><br /><br /> “<b>Rudy Rucker should be declared a National Treasure of American Science Fiction. </b> Someone simultaneously channeling Kurt Gödel and Lenny Bruce might start to approximate full-on Ruckerian warp-space, but without the sweet, human, splendidly goofy Rudy-ness at the core of the singularity.” —William Gibson <br /><br /> “Rucker’s writing is great like the Ramones are great: a genre stripped to its essence, attitude up the wazoo, and cartoon sentiments that reek of identifiable lives and issues. Wild math you can get elsewhere, but <b>no one does the cyber version of beatnik glory quite like Rucker. </b>” —<i>New York Review of Science Fiction</i><br /><br /> “For some two decades now, since the publication of his first novel, <i>White Light</i>, Rucker has combined <b>an easygoing, trippy style influenced by the Beats</b> with a deep engagement with knotty (or ‘gnarly,’ to employ one of his favorite terms) intellectual conceits, based mainly in mathematics. In the typical Rucker novel, <b>likably eccentric characters</b>—who run the gamut from brilliant to near-certifiable—encounter aspects of the universe that confirm that <b>life is weirder than we can imagine. </b>” —<i>The Washington Post</i><br /><br /> “Rudy Rucker is <b>the most consistently brilliant imagination working in SF today. </b>” — Charles Stross, author of The Laundry Files <br /><br /> “Reading a Rudy Rucker book is like finding Poe, Kerouac, Lewis Carroll, and Philip K. Dick parked on your driveway in a topless ’57 Caddy . . . and telling you they’re taking you for a RIDE. <b>The funniest science fiction author around. </b>” —<i>Sci-Fi Universe</i><br /><br /> “Rucker [gives you] <b>more ideas per chapter than most authors use in an entire novel. </b>” —<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i>
