Jim and the Flims
Jim and the Flims is a novel set in Santa Cruz, CA... and the afterlife. Acclaimed cyberpunk/singularity author Rudy Rucker explores themes of
death and destruction, in the wry, quirky style he is famous for.
Jim Oster ruptures the membrane between our world and afterworld (AKA,
The Flimsy), creating a two-way tunnel between them. Jim's wife Val is
killed in the process, and Jim finds himself battling his personal
grief, and an invasion of the Flims. The process of battling the
invading Flims leads him to the center of the afterworld, where the
ghost of his wife just might be.
Can Jim save earth with the help of a posse of Santa Cruz punks, and at
the same time bring his wife back to life? Jim and the Flims is the
Orphic myth retold for the 21st century. Will there be a happy ending
this time?
