  <description><![CDATA[The product manager for a Silicon Valley startup, Joe Cube thinks the best way to enter the new millennium is to stay safely home with his wife and watch the year 2000 come in on an experimental television/interactive device &quot;borrowed&quot; from work. His wife, however, is less than pleased. And after Jena passes out from too much New Year's imbibing, Joe discovers the undertested device has opened a gateway to a new universe: he is contacted by a fourth-dimensional woman named Momo....<p> Usually, tribute novels are like movie remakes: a bad idea. However, this tribute to Edwin A. Abbott's classic novel <em>Flatland</em> works wonderfully. This is because <em>Spaceland</em> is written by Rudy Rucker, a Silicon Valley professor of mathematics and computer science who is also a hard-SF writer with the most gonzo sensibility in science fiction.<em>--Cynthia Ward</em> </p>]]></description>

Rudy Rucker is a smart guy who I am pretty sure is a string theorist and is using fictional books to open people's minds to the idea of extra physical dimensions.

    <body><![CDATA[A solid effort from Mr. Rucker.  Some of the dialog and characterizations feel cliche and forced, and the narrative lacks the impact of White Light.  However, it is still a fun and inventive novel, especially in light of our mobile phone crazed culture. ]]></body>

    <![CDATA[The product manager for a Silicon Valley startup, Joe Cube thinks the best way to enter the new millennium is to stay safely home with his wife and watch the year 2000 come in on an experimental television/interactive device &quot;borrowed&quot; from work. His wife, however, is less than pleased. And after Jena passes out from too much New Year's imbibing, Joe discovers the undertested device has opened a gateway to a new universe: he is contacted by a fourth-dimensional woman named Momo....<p> Usually, tribute novels are like movie remakes: a bad idea. However, this tribute to Edwin A. Abbott's classic novel <em>Flatland</em> works wonderfully. This is because <em>Spaceland</em> is written by Rudy Rucker, a Silicon Valley professor of mathematics and computer science who is also a hard-SF writer with the most gonzo sensibility in science fiction.<em>--Cynthia Ward</em> </p>]]>
