Stylish covers, great contents: HardWired’s reissues of protocyber science
fiction kicks off on 4 December with Bruce Sterling’s The Artificial Kid and
Rudy Rucker’s White Light. As guides to living in a wired world, they’re
inducements to recklessness, mental and physical. Rucker’s hero demonstrates the
mathematical concept of infinity to a sceptical bunch of students with drugs as
his classroom aid. But, as John Shirley points out in his introduction,
psychedelics are like a business call: once you get the information, you hang
up. Published by HardWired, £8.99/$12.95, ISBNs 188886916X and
1888869178.
