Two mathematicians vying for the same partner will change reality
itself to win her love, from award-winning author Rudy Rucker.
Berkeley grad students Bela Kis and Paul Bridge have discovered the
mathematical underpinnings of ultimate reality. But then they begin
fighting over the same woman: the beguiling video-blogger, Alma Ziff.
First Bela gets Alma's interest by starting the wildest rock band ever.
Then Paul undertakes the ultimate computer hack: altering reality to
make Alma his. But the change brings more than he bargained for: Alma is
swept away into a higher world of mathematician cockroaches and cone
shells--bent upon using our world to run experiments in mysterious
metamathematics.
It's up to Bela to bring Alma back, repair reality, stop the aliens, and
find true love in this wild and funny tale that romps across space,
time, and logic.
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.
