Expand description
Rucker describes, and illustrates with delightful cartoon sketches, the world of the progressively more distant future as it is transformed by computer technology, biotechnology, and human evolution. Popular science writing is never going to be the same. Saucer Wisdom also includes an introduction by cyber guru Bruce Sterling and dozens of line illustrations by the author.
