Summary: "Wet" wears thin
Comment: Rucker's "Wetware" is one of those books that confirms everything bad that some people believe about Science Fiction. Aside from a rushed pace and the overused "robotic messiah" plotline, the most frusturating thing about Wetware is the fact that you can't avoid its prevalent sexism. Women exist either as prostitutes for drug dealers or temporary carriers for robot/human hybrids. In such an environment it takes a strong author to create sympathies for a character, but here all we are left with is a depressing vision of all the characters as scum without the vitality of prose that Gibson or Stephenson manage to portray even their most unsympathetic character with.

Summary: Read it...........trust me
Comment:
Rucker will open up your mind with this book Wetware. The imagination Rucker has of the future is crazy yet believable enough to immerse yourself in him world. Wetware takes you to a world with self-sufficient robots living on the moon and people melting themselves for pleasure. The humans no longer control the robots; the robots are trying to control humans. If you are thinking this is just another book about robots, you are wrong. This book is not the norm in robot books. Rucker's robots come is huge variety of different shapes and sizes. They can even show their emotions though colors flashing across there bodies. Rucker gives a fresh view and some new concepts in his world of the future.
How far will AI go? How far could the human race take drugs to satisfy sexual of emotional needs? Could human actually live off earth? After you read this book, you might wonder about these same things. This book does jump around a little but is still easy to follow. Wetware has made me want to read the other books in this series, Software, Freeware and Realware. If you are a cyberpunk fan then it is well worth the read!

Summary: exciting science fiction thrill ride
Comment: Rudy Rucker's Wetware is a must read for any science fiction enthusiast. Rucker paints a very interesting view of the future where humans and robots have colonized the moon. After being exiled from Earth, robots created cities on the moon only to be again kicked out by humans. The robots, called boppers, now live beneath the moon's surface planning their revenge. When the boppers decide to re-colonize the earth through artificially impregnating a human woman, the story begins to take wild twists and turns. Like the rest of the book, Rucker does not disappoint his readers with the story's conclusion. Although Rucker adds a lot of his own jargon to the story, it is an easy read. Reading this book has turned me on to Rucker's other books in his four-part series and on to science fiction literature in general. Wetware appeals to a wide variety of people from the science fiction aficionado to the average reader.
