A story about "Cities in Flight" — 7 years ago
Interesting. I don’t read enough classic SF. I should get some recommendations and buy from the used store.
A story about "Headcrash" — 7 years ago
The knowing wink is troweled on. It plays the “Information superhighway” metaphor to fairly good effect. The ending is weak; I figured Jack’s recurring fax wake-up call would tie in somehow, and it didn’t, which was disappointing. I’d give it a miss, really.
A story about "BUGS in Writing: A Guide to Debugging Your Prose (2nd Edition)" — 7 years ago
Plentiful help for your writing, in short readable pieces. After reading, I started writing as and because instead of since (though apparently that’s not actually an error).
A story about "Tea From An Empty Cup (Tea from an Empty Cup)" — 7 years ago
A bit depressing, but a great story.
A story about "Spaceland : A Novel of the Fourth Dimension" — 7 years ago
I don’t care entirely for the spousal histrionics in Rucker’s stories, but the math is good. It’s a good book.
A story about "Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" — 7 years ago
I don’t think I’ve actually read the entire book all the way through, even though I’ve read the book twice or thrice. Some of the material just doesn’t turn me on, though there’s plenty that does.
A story about "Automated Alice" — 7 years ago
Some interesting ideas (like the computational ant colony), though not as hardcore as, say, G
A story about "Pixel Juice" — 7 years ago
Some lovely stories, though some fall short. Entirely worth reading.
