Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Cyberpunk fans will welcome the reprint of Jeff Noon's joyfully received prequel to Vurt, Nymphomation, a conspiracy thriller in which math geniuses Daisy Love and Jazir Malik's fascination with Domino Bones, the seductive new lottery, leads them on a labyrinthine biotech romp fraught with fractal propagation, sinister flying and talking advertisements, futuristic rave culture and murder, artificial intelligence-style.

--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description

Manchester is gripped by a new lottery game - "Domino Bones". Every Friday night, Manchester stills as the bones tumble into the winning combination. But there is only one real winner - the company that is taking over the city's dreams. Only a band of students can save the city from takeover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book but not as good as Vurt, Nov 19 2002

By	"dib5000x" (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nymphomation (Paperback)

this was a really good book, i immidiatly picked it up after reading VURT (which in my opinion is the best book ever so read it!) I went into reading this book with very high expectations because VURT was soooo good. Nymphomation was good dont get me wrong i enjoyed it a lot but towards the end it gets a little stretched out. This is another Noon masterpiece but take my advice and read Vurt first.

5.0 out of 5 stars PLAY TO WIN: this book tells you how, Jul 12 2002

By	sebastian hope (Olympia WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nymphomation (Paperback)

My god, read this book. Jeff Noon is one of the few science fiction writers out there who is writing on all cylinders. This tells a story of lottery-mania, restaurants, love, gambling, obsession and life in all its wasted glory.

Remember, reading Jeff Noon makes you smart.

5.0 out of 5 stars astonishing., Nov 8 2001

By	writer@repairman.com (Maine, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nymphomation (Paperback)

PLAY TO WIN PLAY TO WIN PLAY TO WIN.

i'd looked at this book - and jeff noon in particular, quite a bit in the bookstores. kept picking it up, then putting it down again .. then again, and again. it started with 'automated alice', one of his other books (which is now, after reading this, next on my list to purchase!), and i just somehow picked this one up instead.

i have never found a science-fiction book to be so poetic. the style, the rhythm, the characterisation.. everything felt like a bizarre cubist landscape, with super-automated camera jibes. twists and turns - this is a book for the imaginative, for those who can -see- a book while it is being read.. read it in one sitting. jeff noon is absolutely incredible, and i fully intend to purchase the rest of his artistry.

1.0 out of 5 stars never read this
This is possibly the WORST book that I have ever read! This phenominally badly written book is packed with obviously out of touch attempts to key into areas of youth culture... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing style, moderate substance!
I found Jeff Noon's "Vurt" to be an extraordinarily exciting head trip through his most phenomenal imagination; I loved it! Read more
