Just not very good. Not really science fiction. Undisciplined and an acquired taste. Not very logically constructed. If you like David Brin or Larry Niven or Alastair Reynolds, you won´t like Rudy Rucker as an author.¤ 2) Paperback Book Mad Professor: The Uncollected Short Stories of Rudy Rucker by Running Press. Another enjoyable and oftimes thought provoking book by Rudy Rucker - being a collection of short stories this is an easy read. For fans of the "Ware" novel series, "Cobb Wakes Up" is set in that worldview.¤ 3) Paperback Book Mad Professor: The Uncollected Short Stories of Rudy Rucker by Running Press. At the untamed frontiers of intelligence, consciousness, matter, and reality lies Rudy Rucker´s The Mad Professor, a collection of twelve mind-bending science fiction stories that probe the outer limits of possibility. Rucker, an accomplished computer scientist and mathematician with numerous science books and novels to his credit, brings his deep and varied knowledge of the mind, mathematics, and the ever-weird and wondrous workings of the physical universe to the stories collected here. In Chu and the Nants we read of a bizarre future following a Verge Singularity, in which hyperintelligent computers have taken over the solar system. Panpsychism Proved breaks down the boundaries between mind and matter, exploring the notion that "every object has a mind." And Six Thought Experiments Concerning the Nature of Computation is an exhilarating collection of mini-stories taking us to the outrageous extremes of theoretical speculation. In The Mad Professor, Rucker deploys the full range of his writing talent and scientific knowledge to take us on a wild romp through the known, the unknown, and the awesomely peculiar. ¤Page Updated: Robert N.
