Vurt
by Jeff Noon
a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at EOF


Synopsis:
(There was no back cover info. . . these are excerpts from a review at 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.
