He lives in a shipping container by the San Francisco Bay. And he's writing a new novel, in which he's the main character. And then he meets Carol. And they discover the sqinks. \u003cem\u003eSqinks\u003c\/em\u003e is transreal cyberpunk love story. I use the my word \"transreal\" to refer to SF tales that mirror the author's own life. That is to say, the novel is about Rudy. The sqinks' motives are complex. One of them chops open our hero Oliver's head with a chrome axe. His brain is replaced by a small sqink inside his skull. Oliver's naked brain ends up in Sqinkland. His Carol goes after him. And all along, Oliver is writing an account of what's happening. Writing his world. Crafting his masterpiece. \u003cem\u003eSqinks\u003c\/em\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudy Rucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1940948592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940948591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transreal Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.58d","brand":"Rudy Rucker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47612094841087,"sku":"9781940948591","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f97af483-d890-4c86-9cd3-8293b36fd765.jpg?v=1764518148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sqinks-rudy-rucker-9781940948591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
