Summary: Good read
Review: A good book with a interesting concept. There are no clear cut villians and it makes you wonder what side you'd be on. A recommended short quick read.

Summary: Good ideas, great fun, colorful and zany action!
Review: All Hail Happy Cloak! A wild and joyous romp from the get-go. Unique in that it moves so well from comedy to ideas to action and into supercool character developement. Lots of weird events and images. Superb SF entertainment.

Summary: A light, enjoyable read.
Review: Fans of the cyberpunk style of sci-fi should find this an entertaining read. Not a heavyweight such as Gibson's Neuromancer (my basic unit of cyberpunk measurement), it nonetheless strikes a similar chord along the lines of Gibson's Chiba City.You can deduce my opinion of the book in that there are three books that I'm aware of in this series... and I liked Rucker's Software enough that I will buy the other two. On a side note, it's a short read... almost a novella.

Summary: Over-Hyped bubblegum for the brain
Review: Forget Gibson. Forget all the other cyberpunk. Software is one of the best science fiction books I have ever read - and I think I've read them all. It's exciting, funny, and fun. Wetware is nearly as good, and I can't wait to read Freeware.

Summary: Creative, quick read
Review: I blew through this book for two reasons:
1. It was short
2. It was addictive
This book is an interesting mix of "modern" cyberpunk type writing and content with older Heinlein style creativity. It has some of the hard edge of cyberpunk but I couldn't help feel that I was reading an updated "boy's adventure" style sci-fi story where we are taken on a ride and shown wondrous things without much background explanation.
I'm looking forward to reading some of the other books by this author but I'm hoping for more content since it definitely needs an increase in density.

Summary: It was... Ok?
Review: I couldn't tell if I liked the book while I was reading it, so I decided to finish it. I'm still not sure. I think the only reason I liked it at all, was because I wanted to. It's a topic I like, but it didn't really deliver. With all the books out there, and only so much time to live, I am -sure- there are better to choose from.

Summary: A great, fun, profound book
Review: I don't want to scare anyone off, but this book changed the way I look at life. Hidden amidst the funky robots, improbable drugs and far-out 21st Century slang is a fascinating argument for the actual, real-life existence of immortality. The closest writer I can think of to Rucker is Philip K. Dick--his vision of the future is decidedly goofy, but the ideas--both philosophic and scientific, in regards to artificial intelligence--can be taken seriously. If you want to, you're under no obligation. Highly recommended either way.
