In a World of Vurt

I just started reading Vurt by Jeff Noon and I’m completely absorbed. This book has it all, love, loss, adventure, mystery, and drug-induced escapes into virtual worlds. This is exactly the kind of science fiction that I enjoy. Vurt presents a plausible future, a projection of our current course. It doesn’t carry the reader to some made-up fantasy world on an unpronounceable planet where everyone magically speaks English. Vurt is the human condition; it’s doing wrong things passionately and right things accidentally.
