"Like a Möbius strip, that mathematical curiosity in which one surface is produced by twisting judiciously then joining two ends of a ribbon, Rucker's new hard SF satire tweaks the dot-com Y2K subculture into a hilarious tribute to Edwin Abbott's Flatland (1884). Kencom techie Joe Cube fatally miscalculates how his increasingly dissatisfied, yuppie, dingbat wife, Jena, really wants to celebrate the millennial New Year's Eve. Joe should have remembered that Jena likes sex even better than he does. Instead he brings her two Dungeness crabs, a bottle of Dom Perignon and some "really cool electronics," an experimental three-dimensional TV. This indigestible combination fizzles Joe's stab at romance, but the electronics sizzle, hurling Jena into the arms of Joe's skuzzy engineer pal, Spazz, and propelling Momo, a siren-voiced denizen of the fourth dimension, into Joe's life. For her own nefarious purposes, Momo cons Joe into helping her people, the Kluppers, against their mortal enemies, the Dronners. Only Joe's three-dimensional reality, Spaceland, separates the two warring races. Combining valid mathematical speculation with wicked send-ups of Silicon Valley and its often otherworldly tribespeople, Rucker achieves a rare fictional world, a belly-laugh-funny commentary on the Faustian dilemma facing a lumpish 21st-century tech-addicted everyman: What is the real price in human relationships, in love and friendship and compassion, of those cutesy little user-friendly gadgets that happen to materialize so innocently on our desks Fourth dimension -- Fiction.

The Jenny was drifting across the shoulder of a big volcano. Beyond it there were no more mountains,just an endless blue-white plain stretching to the horizon.They were at the mercy of the wind,and it was carrying them helplessly into the Ice Wastes. After two years of carefree travelling on the Bird Roads,a chance encounter leads Tom and Hester back into danger.Fleeing from the grim aviators of the Green Storm,the cold of the Ice Wastes seeping into their bones,they stumble on the icy city of Anchorage just in time.But Anchorage is not a safe refuge - devastated by plague,the city is barely lurching along,and the young margravine is making a last desperate bid for survival. She has set a course for the Dead Continent - America. . . There are rumours of a lush haven growing from that blasted land,but the journey is a perilous one.For there are other rumours, of strange creatures,and ghosts walking on the High Ice; and there is the dreadful certainty of the savage Huntsmen of Arkangel. . .
