Commentary During Books The Hacker and the Ants

This cyberpunk adventure from Philip K. Dick award-winner, Rudy Rucker, reads like a ripped-from-Reddit romp of white hat hacking, artificial intelligence. run amok, and an unstoppable electronic 'bugs.' From a two-time winner of the Philip K. Dick award, and one of the founding fathers of cyberpunk comes a novel about a very modern nightmare: the most destructive computer virus ever has been traced to your machine. Computer programmer Jerzy Rugby spends his days blissfully hacking away in cyberspace - aiding the GoMotion Corporation in its noble quest to create intelligent robots. Then an electronic ant gets into the machinery ... then more ants .... then millions and millions of the nasty viral pests appear out of nowhere to wreak havoc throughout the Net. And suddenly Jerzy Rugby is Public Enemy Number One, wanted for sabotage, computer crime, and treason - a patsy who must now get to the bottom of the virtual insectile plague. "Rudy Rucker warms the cockles of my heart ... I think of him as the Scarlet Pimpernel of science fiction." - Philip Jose Farmer

Awesome book. A little dated now, but still a fun read from a great author. Pick up anything by him for a great science fictional mindbend.

The whole plot is driven by what an obnoxiously horny creep the narrator is. Kind of a persistent Rudy Rucker problem.

First Rudy Rucker novel I've read, stumbled on it. Glad I read it, and it was a pretty 'light' read so not too time-consuming. Seems to be the same AI fears as today, only roll back two decades before smart phones. Vaguely twisted but familiar perspectives on California at the time rounds out the entertainment (a real estate agent conspiracy, for instance). The characters are not always consistent; the narrator is somewhat unpredictable; the plot line takes some unlikely twists in order to

One of RR's earliest works I think? All in with that idea of AI.*** Just re-read. Whilst doing a Computer Science degree, his musings are as relevant today as they were then. I love his SuperC/Kwirkey compiler, so true. Better on second read, and with some programming experience under my belt. And thanks to Rudi for helping to inspire me into that course.
