Fuzzy Dice: A Novel Kindle Edition

“Di Filippo clowns his way through this transdimensional travelogue cut from the same cloth as Douglas Adams’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” —Publishers Weekly
 
At forty-five-years-old, Paul Girard is a self-loathing clerk at an independent bookstore, having finally killed his dream of being a writer by throwing out his rejected manuscripts. Drowning in existential angst, Paul can’t envision much of a future for himself—until he meets Hans. 
 
Hans is one of the Mind Children, an artificial race that has succeeded humanity. If Paul allows Hans to copy his human essence, the key to Superspace and its infinite number of universes will be his. And even though said key is a yo-yo, Paul agrees.
 
Desperate to escape his banal reality, Paul flings the yo-yo and winds up in the singularity that preceded the Big Bang . . . a matriarchal society of women warriors . . . a realm populated by TV characters from his childhood. But Paul’s frantic travels only prove one thing: wherever he goes in the multiverse, there he is. Now how does he get home?
 
“It’s like Tom Robbins’s classic Even Cowgirls Get the Blues recast in the hands of gonzo mathematician Rudy Rucker as a kind of ontological day trip.” —Locus
 
“Frothing with ideas, Fuzzy Dice is one more reason Di Filippo is one of the most imaginative (and underappreciated) writers working today. . . . If humorously intelligent science fiction far beyond the madding crowd is your cup of tea, then this novel (and Di Filippo in general) cannot disappoint. . . . Great fun, great read—almost as much as Sheckley’s Dimension of Miracles.” —Speculiction

5.0 out of 5 stars Take a ride on the Time Machine

My third book by this author I recommend this author to all Sci-Fi, Humor Readers

This was a fantastic ride thru different dimensions. From The beginning normal earth to Cartoon Land. I felt like a passenger in a dolrian traveling beside Christopher Llyod on acid.
Grab your Yo-Yo & Ronald Reagan Pez container and follow this story to the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than these reviews indicate
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2020
I don't think some of these reviewers did more than skim past the parts they couldn't visualize or understand. The words hit their eyes, but that's about it. This book dives into deep territory and handles it with a blend of science and humor that makes the learning fun and as real as it could be considering the circumstances. If you aren't a little bit of a geek about things like the ontological pickle, you may not get a lot of the material or its implications by casually perusing the chapters. Some of the best parts are the research it sends you to do on your own to learn more about the scenarios and references presented. I think I spent a few months chasing a few topics online after reading this. It will sharpen your philosophies and shine light on your little corner of this matrix we call our universe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2010
The writing was a little simplistic, but it had loads of imagination in it. It was a page turner that kept me entertained for a couple of days.
