Novel: The Ware Tetralogy
Author: Rudy Rucker
Synopsis: computers become alive, and things change. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
This is a really odd odd book. It is actually four books of reasonable length, published as one volume. It tells both the story of societal change as technological increases, as well as the story of a family that is at the forefront of change.
There's a lot of drugs and sex, and I'm not sure I liked it very much. There are drugs created by new technology, and different types of human who gets high off different drugs.
I started reading it in February, and have read 10 books between then and now. For the last month, I've been 100 pages from finishing it. Then 20 for a week. Finally picked it up and completed it.
Such a weird-ass book. I'm not sure there was a definitive plot, so much as intermingling stories that eventually all flow together.
