From Amazon.com

If you like challenging science fiction, then Jeff Noon is the author for you. Vurt, winner of the 1994 Arthur C. Clarke award, is a cyberpunk novel with a difference, a rollicking, dark, yet humorous examination of a future in which the boundaries between reality and virtual reality are as tenuous as the brush of a feather.

But no review can do Noon's writing justice: it's a phantasmagoric combination of the more imaginative science fiction masters, such as Phillip K. Dick, genres such as cyberpunk and pulp fiction, and drug culture.

If this tickles your fancy, you should definitely consider the sequel to Vurt, Pollen, or Noon's lighter and more accessible Automated Alice, a modern recasting of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.



From Publishers Weekly

3.0étoiles sur 5 Interesting stuff, but nothing brilliant, Mars 8 2001
Par Dan Seitz "cinnatusc" (Somerville, MA, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This is pretty familiar ground for cyberpunk enthusiasts, seen through a different character, with a little mixed-up Orpheus myth tossed in and with the science not quite so well explained. As near as I can figure out, the "Vurt" is a nanotechnological drug. Read the book, what I say will make more sense.

It's interesting, certainly, but there's really not much of a point to it other than having fun, being a good ride. I plowed through 220 pages of this waiting for an on a train, that's how fast it can go.

It is a fun read, but it doesn't really tell us anything, nothing like Gibson's future near-noir or Stephenson's hysterical glancing at humanity. A book for the beach, I enjoyed it.

5.0étoiles sur 5 What is going on?, Jui 19 2004
Par C. Myers "leanleaper" (Simi Valley, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Is it possible to embrace an incestuous protagonist? To side with a gang of cop-killers? To care about people who are rootless and careless and directionless? If Jeff Noon is doing the storytelling it is possible. Furthermore, the world Noon creates is so compellingly twisted and mysterious that the sociopathy of the Stash Riders is made to seem almost heroic. That's the mark of a helluva storyteller.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Amazing, Fév 24 2004
Par Gregory Baird (Morristown, NJ) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a dazzling journey which plunges you into a psychedelic, grimy near-future ruled by anarchy. Jeff Noon possesses an incredible creativity that at times creeps you out with its perversity but never fails to stagger you with its power. It would be very interesting to get a cup of coffee with this guy and have a conversation with him. In a nutshell the book is about a man who loses his sister in another dimension of sorts (called a vurt) only accessible through use of a rare and highly dangerous feather drug. His quest to find her is an unusual and thoroughly exciting ride even if I'm not quite sure what deeper message it is trying to send. 'Vurt' is well worth reading for its truly unique nature and its ability to draw you in and hold you under its spell. It is that rare novel which cannot be adequately described - it must be experienced.
