Product Details

Product Description

Book Description

This groundbreaking science-fiction collection explores worlds separated from our own by imperceptible veils. In Liquid Earth, reality melts along a rustic Main Street in Shrub Oak, New York. The Lobotomy Club begins in a New Orleans bar, and Sushi Never Sleeps in a New York electronics store. Egg Drop Soup starts with a walk along the tranquil Chesapeake River. All familiar settings at first glance, but a new reality awaits...

You'll visit worlds replete with beautiful women and their surgically altered brains, fractal sex, Noah's Ark, hyperspace physics, hallucinating androids, prophetic ants, exotic sushi, satanic aliens, vitamin B-12, novel plastics, cosmic wormholes, and quests for God and the structure of ultimate reality.

From the Publisher

The books in the Neoreality series may be read in any order. The books are on similar themes but are separate and distinct.

5.0 out of 5 stars The seed to grow thoughts, Nov 18 2003
By 
This review is from: Liquid Earth (Paperback)
There are thick and heavy books whose ideas can easily fit into one sentence and there are books like this one where each sentence is the seed you can grow into a plenteous tree of thoughts. Seemingly familiar things are turned into mysterious encounters and reality inter-transforms like ice into the water. But after all who told that the reality is not governed by the same laws as the matter and can be present in gas, liquid or solid forms? Or even a couple of hundred of others which are still on the way of discovering. The same way as A. Einstein proved that time depends on speed this book proves once again that the reality depends on time of observation. Is not it a nice sequence?

4.0 out of 5 stars An Apt Statement of the Times, Nov 26 2002
By

This review is from: Liquid Earth (Paperback)
"Liquid Earth" reads like one of Pickover's on-line experiments in
collaborative writing. It is like the Internet, itself -- a
stream of collective consciousness. The book also depicts
something like a human reaction to information overload, living on
Moore's Law accelerating cultural curve. Living in a Fracturing
Reality is like experiencing landmark buildings crashing to the
ground for no good reason. The book is in fact poignantly
topical. It inspires reflection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow -- what a ride..., Oct 21 2002
By 
Lowell E. Waite (Dallas, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Liquid Earth (Paperback)
Like drinking a Big Gulp too fast, this book will give you brain freeze -- but in a good way! It begins with a strange encounter and never looks back. Cliff Pickover weaves an interesting story centered on shifting reality (Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?) caused by a growing space-time rupture. Bring along a cat, a heroine, and robot, and you have quite a crew.

Like Pickover's non-fiction books, there is plenty of science and other stuff to learn here, only this time wrapped up in an often hilarious, very entertaining sci-fi story. I enjoyed it and look forward to reading other stories in the Neoreality Series...
