Summary: cutting edge cyberpunk
Review: In a genre noted for on the edge style Rudy Rucker is breaking new ground, doing things his way and,
setting new standards.
If you generally like cyberpunk go ahead and buy all 3 books of his books they are in series... you won't regret it.
That's my recomendation read Software, Wetware, and Freeware. all by Rudy Rucker. Wavy real wavy :)
On the other hand...
If your just curious about cyberpunk try Software, it's an interesting tale set in the near future. The information superhighway of the future... Just around the corner...

Summary: Maybe it was the buildup?
Review: Maybe the rave reviews I heard made me expect too much, but the actual book was kind of a let-down. It just didn't, I don't know, _romp_. Very cool concepts, well executed, but seemed kind of pointless in the end. Maybe I expected him to do something new with the cyberpunk genre when he had really gotten there first. (For a Rucker book that romps and stomps, try _The_Hollow_Earth_.)

Summary: Over-Hyped bubblegum for the brain
Review: The book has been way over-hyped. It was readable but nothing like you would expect something that has been labeled cyberpunk to be. It is nothing like brunner or Gibson's work. I think this is little more than a text-based D.C. comic. It has interesting concepts but nothing to write home about.Go read or re-read a William Gibson book instead.

Summary: This is great book about robotics and free will
Review: This book is very good if you are into the possibilities of computers having thier own free will. All computer phreaks will like it. Everyone else will not find it bad either. The book is not laden with technical knowledge that some books suppose thier reader already knows. I love the way Rudy destroys the concept that robots will be subserviant. After all, God made man in His image, why can't man make robots in thier image

Summary: Mind-blowing book. William Gibson who?
Review: This novel... which, sure, clocks in under 180 pages, but is that necessarily a bad thing? ... is the most inventive thing I've read since Philip Dick and Alfred Bester. I'd been disappointed with most of the so-called "cyberpunk" genre until this book. Rucker managed to set the tone for the next 20 years' worth of science fiction way back in 1982

Summary: Good ideas, great fun, colorful and zany action!
Review: Wonderful book, a must read for cyberpunk fans (along with wetware and freeware). He takes you to the brink of total chaos but manages to hold it all together.
