| Publisher's Note | |
| The robotic "moldies" are evolved artificial lifeforms made of soft plastic and gene-tweaked molds and algae. Universally despised, the moon is the place to be, if you're a persecuted "moldie" or an enlightened "flesher" intent on creating a new, more utopian hybrid civilization. On the moon, there are other intergalactic intelligences to contend with--and some not so intelligent--who have their own agendas and appetites. | |
| Industry reviews | |
| "...a lively...mix of gnarly sex, designer drugs and higher math." New York Times Book Review - Gerald Jonas (05/04/1997) "Rucker's evocation of the 21st century has an internal logic that provides a firm foundation for his gonzo inventiveness and dark humor." San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Daniel Marcus (07/13/1997) "Cheerfully amorphous, irreverent, and absurd, full of allusions to f/sf works and writers...best for Rucker regulars, Valley types, diehard cyberpunks, and devotees of old comics like 'Metal Man' and Doom Patrol.'" Parrinder "'Freeware' appears to be the climax of what may be the most important sf series of the past 15 years. Only Gregory Benford's 'Galactic Core' novels rival its breadth and depth of imagination and execution. While the 'ware' series may not be complete, readers of this book will find the sense of closure it produces eminently satisfying, though they may long for more of Rucker's intelligent and witty prose."
