Rudy Rucker book Master Of Space And Time
Gender | |
A reworking of the three wishes story using gluons (a scientific particle). At one point the hero turns himself into a beautiful woman and actually makes love as a woman. |

This one gives your imagination a fascinating workout. It stretches
the limits of reality, space, time, and destiny in all sorts of
wild ways. The author himself appears in one chapter titled "Rudy
Rucker is Watching You."
Well, yes, I imagine he was. What really makes this a must-read is
a brief meditation on the motives behind the main characters desire
to be a beautiful woman ... or was it really his/her desire after
all? Definitely worthwhile.

I thought this one was surprisingly good. A cute 3 wishes premise
to boot.

I usually do not like "crazy-plot" books (where the sci-fi is soooo
wild it is really magic - where the author can do - and does - just
about everything to the characters) BUT I LIKED THIS ONE! Rudy
Rucker is a brilliant man - writes very insightful mathmatical and
probability non-fiction... and he has a wonderful concept of humor!
I also like the fact he is NOT out to preach about big social
issues or moral values, yet slips one in once in a while (like the
hero's wife's reaction to her husband in a Marlyn Monroe body!)
More than "three wishes" here - and the hero at the last moment
decides his wish is "to see what it is like... etc" Well, talking
trees - strange fruit - free money... its all there in the story,
for a little while anyway. Good
book - buy a copy!
