Rudy Rucker's new book
Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things: "Mixing together anecdotes, graphics, and fables, Rucker teases out the implications of his new worldview, which he calls 'universal automatism.' His analysis reveals startling aspects of the everyday world, touching upon such topics as chaos, the internet, fame, free will, and the pursuit of happiness. More than a popular science book, The Lifebox, the Seashell, and the Soul is a philosophical entertainment that teaches us how to enjoy our daily lives to the fullest possible extent."
