Publisher Description

Madcap inventor Harry Gerber is hopeless when it comes to surviving in the real world. So he uses his genius to twist the laws of science and create his own tailor-made universe. Assisted by his straight-men co-conspirators, Joe Fletcher and the comely Sondra Tupperware, and powered by gluons—the stuff that holds our very atoms together—Gerber creates a blunzer, enabling him to change the very nature of reality.

From a mirror-image world where sluglike parasites make slaves of humanity, to trees and bushes that grow fries and pork chops, to a rain of fish, Master of Space and Time takes listeners on the ultimate joyride. But once the gluons at the core of Harry's creation run out, disaster looms for Harry and his friends.

High physics and high jinks combine for a wild voyage that blurs the line between science and magic.

"A really funny book. If you like Hitchiker's Guide, this is totally up your alley. The chapters are brisk and short so its a great read for the subway."

    — Los Angeles Times

    " Silly, light hearted cross dimensional romp. Decided to read it when I heard Michel Gondry might be turning it into a movie. Would be great fun if he did. "

    " So, I found this book in a stack of paperbacks I had bought on a close-out sale years and years ago. For some reason, I decided to read it. The story is like a carnival ride. Quirky. Inane. I suspect Rucker spent way too much of his adolescence watching Monte Python. "

    " This book appears to be somewhat of a predecessor, or maybe an earlier draft, of his book "The Fourth Dimension". Not quite a predecessor, sincethis book goes into more mathematical detail (which I liked). I like Rudy Ruckers writing style overall. "
