This is a quirky novel which fits into the comic book category of fantasy fiction, from the author of "Software" and "Limpware". It should appeal to 1960s nostalgia through its references to Pynchon, Kerouac and Philip K.Dick.

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. Rudolf von Bitter Rucker is an American mathematician, computer scientist, science fiction author, and philosopher, and is one of the founders of the cyberpunk literary movement. The author of both fiction and non-fiction, he is best known for the novels in the Ware Tetralogy, the first two of which (Software and Wetware) both won Philip K. Dick Awards. As his “own alternative to cyberpunk,” Rucker developed a writing style he terms: Transrealism, as outlined in his 1983 essay “The Transrealist Manifesto,” is science fiction based on the author’s own life and immediate perceptions, mixed with fantastic elements that symbolize psychological change. Many of Rucker’s novels and short stories apply these ideas. Rucker often uses his novels to explore scientific or mathematical ideas; White Light examines the concept of infinity, while the Ware Tetralogy (written from 1982 through 2000) is in part an explanation of the use of natural selection to develop software (a subject also developed in his The Hacker and the Ants. His novels also put forward a mystical philosophy that Rucker has summarized in an essay titled, with only a bit of irony, “The Central Teachings of Mysticism”.
