Holger Seelefand recenserade White Light av Rudy Rucker
Weired but still a readable debut novel
4 stjärnor
When read as a novel in the classical sense, this falls short. The idea to exemplify mathematical concept in an alternate reality, where the inhabitants are able to do infinitely many countable things in finite time is nice, but it has not enough flesh. I like the jokes based on inversion of concepts: Sentient cars having sex with humans inside and a character that begins as a giant beetle and then turns into Greogor Samsa.
