Here, Rudy Rucker ventures into the stretch of the universe he calls the 'Mindscape', where he explores infinity in all its forms. Within this realm, he maintains that mathematics, science, and logic merge with the fantastic, and in examining the results of this merging, a great deal is revealed about the human mind, its powers, and its limitations.
