   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) grahzny | Jul 17, 2023 |  JudyGibson | Jan 26, 2023 | He said that people and boppers are the same. It’s really true, but some people don’t like hearing it. Some people even think that sex and skin color matter... Inclusive thinking by the bopper messiah "A saintly badass." ( ) kevn57 | Dec 8, 2021 | And I was just thinking that I'd have more boppers and meat-sacks in some sort of wacky adventure. Little did I know that this would be about boppers making meat-sacks or what it would mean for religion in this wild, wild world. Things are always changing in these novels. Big changes. Enormous changes. No spoilers, but the results of the whole bopper/human war is really freaky. Rudy Rucker doesn't hold back with his idea storms. He lets it all hang out. I love it! And by the way, this one has a much tighter plot and the themes are less a drug-infused orgy and more of a brain-melt. Often quite literally a brain-melt for the characters, too! Let's start mixing machine DNA with normal biology, shall we? Roll out the machine messiah and other preachers of peace and harmony between all PEOPLE, no matter what they began as or what they became, and then let's roll out the reactionary machine. Of course. But what a wild ride! It's the details and the the gorgeous tidbits of a really zany SF future that makes this novel. I stand by my original pronouncement that these should BE a huge Cult favorite. :) We should all be sitting around these books hitting shots and laughing about all the nutty things going on here!

In 2030, bopper robots in their lunar refuge have founds a way to infuse DNA wetware with their own software code. The result is a new lifeform: the meatbop. Fair is fair, after all. Humans built the boppers, now bops are building humans. . .sort of. Its all part of an insidious plot thats about to ensnare Della Taze-who doesnt think she killed her lover while in drug-induced ecstasy. . .but isnt sure. And its certainly catastrophic enough to call Cobb Anderson-the pheezer who started it all-out of cold-storage heaven.We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
