"Juicy Ghosts" is a fast-paced adventure novel, with startling science, engaging dialog-and a happy ending. The novel treats near-future versions of telepathy and immortality. It's also a redemptive political tale, reacting to the chaos of a contested US presidential election. The tone is hip, bright, and darkly comic, with generous helpings of Rucker's SF surrealism. Romances interweave the tale.
