About this book
Though he is also a mathematician computer scientist and essayist Rudy Rucker is best known for his ground-breaking science fiction. The companion volume to Seek! Ruckers selected nonfiction Gnarl! brings together three dozen of the writers best science fiction short stories. His first major story collection in 17 years the volume includes a number of previously unanthologized stories including tales cowritten with Marc Laidlaw Paul Di Filippo and Bruce Sterling. Classics such as "The Fifty-Seventh Franz Kafka " a timely meditation on the paradoxes of cloning are side by side with works of pseudomemoir like "The Indian Rope Trick Explained." The Rucker formula - cutting-edge physics a wild but perversely logical imagination and a decidedly punk attitude - illuminates this new collection.
