Nested Scrolls A Writer's Life
"Nested Scrolls: A Writer's Life brings us the true life adventures of Rudy Rucker innovative novelist, mathematician, and computer hacker. His career goals? To explore infinity, popularize the fourth dimension, seek the gnarl, write beatnik SF, and father a family. At one level, Rucker's genial and unfettered memoir brings us a first-hand account of how he and his fellows ushered in our postmodern world. At another level, Nested Scrolls is the wry and moving tale of a man making his way from one turbulent century to the next. Along the way, Rucker earned a doctorate in mathematics, hobnobbed with the Beats, received literary awards for his cyberpunk novels, inaugurated the genre of transrealism, developed visually stunning software in Silicon Valley, and raised three children with his beloved wife. Come along for the ride!"--Publisher's description.

Rudolf "Rudy" von Bitter Rucker is a writer and a mathematician who worked for twenty years as a Silicon Valley computer science professor, and published a number of software packages. Rucker is regarded as contemporary master of science-fiction, and received the Philip K. Dick award twice. His forty published books include novels, collections, and non-fiction books on the fourth dimension, infinity, and the meaning of computation. A founder of the cyberpunk school of science-fiction, Rucker also writes SF in a realistic style known as transrealism. His 2006 *Mathematicians in Love* was an example of a transreal novel. His early cyberpunk four-book series was republished in 2010 as *The Ware Tetralogy*. Rucker’s 2007 novel, *Postsingular* was something of a return to the cyberpunk style, as was the 2009 sequel, *Hylozoic*, in which every object on Earth comes to life. Rucker’s autobiography, *Nested Scrolls*, appeared in 2011. Recent novels include *Turing & Burroughs*, *Return to the Hollow Earth*, and *Million Mile Road Trip*.
