In Rucker's last novel, "Postsingular," the Singularity
happened. Life on Earth has been transformed by the awakening of
all matter into consciousness and telepathic communication. The
most intimate moments of your life can be experienced by anyone who
cares to pay attention, or by hundreds of thousands of anyones if
you are one of the Founders who helped create the
Singularity.
The small bunch of Founders, including young newlyweds Thuy, a
hypertext novelist, and Jayjay, a gamer and brain-enhancement
addict, are living a popular live-action media life. But now alien
races that have already gone through this transformation notice
Earth for the first time, and begin to arrive to exploit both the
new environment and any available humans. Some of them are real
estate developers, some are slavers, and some just want to help.
But who is to tell the difference? Someone has to save humanity
from the alien invasions, and it might as well be reality media
stars Thuy and Jayjay. They have the problems of soap opera stars,
and are still propelled through adventures in time and in other
universes, a long strange trip indeed.
