My Favorite 3 Sci-Fi Writers

Screw you, Neal Stephenson!
These science fiction authors eat your lunch, Mr. "Cyberpunk is dead."

1. Rudy Rucker
The Wetware Mind of this mathematician madman keeps me happily awaiting another bizarre treatise. Go get his software-wetware-freeware-realware tetrology and be happy. Just picked up "Frek and the Elixir," which seems to involve something named Mr. Pig and a talking cuttlefish in 3003 bio-enhanced Earth.

2. Paul di Filippo
So hard to find, so worth it. A friend of mine borrowed "Ribofunk" and somehow lost it. It's a great book that I miss, damn him to hell. He likes alternate worlds, steampunk, and alternate thoughts. Kind of a new Ray Bradbury.

3. Jeff Noon
Crazy Manchester man. Crazy, crazy Manchester man. Sets his rock-punk hallucinogenic tales in worlds filled with dream-feathers, zombie-people and pollenating girls. "Vurt" and his others including "Pollen" and "Nymphomation" will have uou hating/loving him. "Automated Alice" and his fragmented "Pixel Juice" are awesome. Forget bookstores- go overseas or use Amazon.
