Book Description
A stunningly skewed reworking of Lewis Carroll's classic from award-winning cyberpunk novelist Jeff Noon.
From the Publisher
In the last years of his life, Lewis Carroll wrote a third Alice book. This mysterious work has only recently been discovered. Now, at last, the world can read about Automated Alice and her fabulous adventures in the future. That's not quite true. "Automated Alice" was, in reality, written by Zenith O'Clock, the writer of wrongs. In the book, he propels Alice through time, tumbling from the Victorian age to the 90s. Oh dear, that's not at all right. This trequel to "Alice and Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" was actually written by Jeff Noon, who invented Zenith O'Clock...but never mind. What Alice encounters in the automated future is mostly accidental too...a series of misadventures even weirder than your dreams. Acknowledged as one of the most exciting new authors writing today, Jeff Noon's other works of fiction include "Vurt" (winner of the 1994 Arthur C. Clarke award), "Pollen, Nymphomation, Needle in the Groove, Cobralingus," and "Pixel Juice."
