{"name": "Rudy Rucker", "bio": {"type": "/type/text", "value": "Rudolf \"Rudy\" von Bitter Rucker is a writer and a mathematician who worked for twenty years as a Silicon Valley computer science professor, and published a number of software packages.\r\n\r\nRucker is regarded as contemporary master of science-fiction, and received the Philip K. Dick award twice. His forty published books include novels, collections, and non-fiction books on the fourth dimension, infinity, and the meaning of computation.\r\n\r\nA founder of the cyberpunk school of science-fiction, Rucker also writes SF in a realistic style known as transrealism. His 2006 *Mathematicians in Love* was an example of a transreal novel. His early cyberpunk four-book series was republished in 2010 as *The Ware Tetralogy*.\r\n\r\nRucker\u2019s 2007 novel, *Postsingular* was something of a return to the cyberpunk style, as was the 2009 sequel, *Hylozoic*, in which every object on Earth comes to life. Rucker\u2019s autobiography, *Nested Scrolls*, appeared in 2011. Recent novels include *Turing & Burroughs*, *Return to the Hollow Earth*, and *Million Mile Road Trip*.\r\n\r\n[(Source)][1]\r\n\r\n  [1]: https://www.rudyrucker.com/blog/about/"}, "alternate_names": ["Rudolf von Bitter Rucker", "Rudy v.
