Is Rudy Rucker looking for a fight?

No, actually. In fact, I found this observation quite funny:

What's up with so many young people shaving their heads bald? The thing is, if you're at all overweight, you're going to have a lipless slit-mouth wrinkle on your nape. So your back is like an eyeless alien face.

Rudy Rucker reminisces on the inspiration for his classic c-punk novel "Software."

Rudy Rucker discusses his lifelong appreciation of William Burroughs. I like it when writers write about writers.

Rudy Rucker as you've never seen him before!

Interview on Postsingular and Frek and the Elixir (interview with author Rudy Rucker)

Frek is about a maximally biotech future in which there's no more machines at all. I used to read my children a book called The Fur Family, in which a little family of furry creatures lives inside a hollow oak tree, complete with windows and a little red door. I've always thought it would be nice to live in a house like that, so that's where I put Frek's family. I get sick of machines, so the Frek world is a happy dream.

Yoga and the Elements (Rudy Rucker)

I had a hallucination like that in 1965, I was a college student, and an upperclassman had given me a couple of peyote cactus buds he'd gotten by mail-order from a Texas garden supply company. I'd eaten the buds and puked them up, and I was over at some friends' house, and I imagined their kitchen was amphitheater-like classroom full of students, and that I was giving a lecture on Special Relativity -- a subject about which I then knew almost nothing. It was a precognitive hallucination, for in 1977 I was in fact a professor lecturing on the mathematics of Special Relativity in an amphitheater-like classroom at SUNY Geneseo. The wisdom of the spiny bud.

Rudy Rucker, Terence McKenna and Robert Anton Wilson star in "The Manual of Evasion." I love it when original thinkers get together to jam.
