Journals I

Journals I includes Rudy Rucker's notes on his life and career from 1990 to 2002. He worked as a programmer at Autodesk, a computer science professor in Silicon Valley, and an editor at Mondo 2000. He lectured in Japan, acted in Lisbon, grappled with Hollywood, and researched Flemish art in Europe. He wrote the cyberpunk novels Freeware and Realware, the transreal novels The Hacker and the Ants and Saucer Wisdom, his Seek! and Gnarl! anthologies, and, after the millennium, As Above, So Below - a historical novel of the artist Peter Bruegel. Along the way Rucker got sober.
