Author Rudy Rucker offers a unique vision of life, death, and the
infinite worlds that lie beyond in this thought-provoking, inspiring,
romantic--and funny as hell--mathematical SF novel.
Young prof Felix Rayman spends his days in another world. Between
teaching indifferent students, pondering his theories on infinity,
napping, and worrying about his wife, he's barely here.
But when his dreams separate him from his physical body, Felix plunges
headfirst into a transfinite universe that looks a lot like the
afterworld--complete with angels, demons, and the restless souls of the
dead. And it only gets stranger, as his trials and tribulations--in the
company of a giant talking beetle--send Felix up other-worldly peaks
that range past infinity to the zone of the White Light, where Nothing
and Everything are the same.
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.
