You‟ll see this said about all too many science fiction writers, given novelty‟s supposed (and largely spurious, in my view) importance to the genre, but of Rudy it‟s quite literally true. He isone splendidly odd duck, balanced between pure mathematics on the one hand and spontaneous bop prosody on the other, while uncounted further hands (or paws, in some cases) flicker in from their individual Hilbert spaces, bearing cups, wands, alien sex toys, artifacts out of Roadrunner cartoons, terrible jokes, gleefully fell dooms, and lubricating dabs of mentholated ichor.  \nScarily bright, and a card-carrying Holy Fool who‟s managed to fall off every cliff but the only really wrong ones, he used to frighten me.  \nIn part, no doubt, because he‟s the only higher mathematician I‟ve ever known, while I am myself virtually an innumerate. I knew from the very start of our acquaintance (from before, actually, as I read him before I met him) that he habitually, effortlessly, visited realms I was literally incapable of envisioning, let alone visiting. He also frightened me because, though generally convivial, he seemed to me to teeter atop an angelic pinhead of purest Random,  \ncausing me the constant apprehension that he might at any second do or say literally anything at all. As I was secretly attempting to negotiate my own life and literary career with the emergency brake on, this made me complexly uneasy. He seemed starry-eyed with the sheer joy of forgetting the brakes entirely.  \nI found him uns","cbCaijPETjnzXabQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijPETjnzXabQ","pdf",4039982,834,"English","# TABLE OF CONTENTS\n## “Sui Generis: A Testimony” by William Gibson\n## Family Trees\n## SOFTWARE\n## WETWARE\n## FREEWARE\n## REALWARE\n## Afterword by Rudy Rucker\n## SUI GENERIS: A TESTIMONY\n## by WILLIAM GIBSON","[{\"question\":\"What license governs the electronic version of THE WARE TETRALOGY?\",\"answer\":\"The electronic version is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivative License (BY-NC-ND 3.0).
