Not gonna lie, this book was so weird. The pace is really varied - one chapter is an evening at the aquarium, the next chapter is suddenly an arrest and three years in prison. One cool thing that I was not expecting was that this book heavily references Flatland by Edwin A Abbott. Since I happen to read Flatland last month, I thought this was a cool coincidence.
Overall I think if you like trippy dystopian sci-fi with overmedicated populations rising up against overbearing computers and challenging their perceptions of the universe in pages then give this a whirl.

Mar 16, Arielle Masters rated it liked it Shelves: sci-fi , science-fiction , sex , big-ideas , science. First read this in high school; again in or just after college. I haven't yet re-read it as a mature adult. I mostly remember it being about shrinking the quantum kind, not the cold-water kind and sex.
The science part was fascinating. I read them around the same time. Need to re-read them to straighten things out His first book, although published second. I think he was earlt 20s. Kant, Godel, infinity, 4th dimension. All the later focusses are here in book one. And fresh characters, raw and anti-gov. Smash the state. Rucker on.
