Publisher's Note A jarring look into the future of virtual reality. Welcome to the vurt, where urban violence is eclipsed by the stroke of a feather: black feather, pink pornovurt feather, glorious yellow feather. . . . Rule #1: Be careful. For one stroke will take you to a virtual reality comprised of memory and dream, central fears and unimaginable hostilities. Winner of the 1994 Arthur C. Clarke Award.
Industry Reviews "Noon is principally concerned with lonely, isolated individuals striving to live 'authentically' in a lawless society of disillusion and defeated purpose." Times Literary Supplement - Jason Cowley (05/19/1995)
"'Vurt' mesmerizes with hypnotic rhythms and confounds with its surrealistic paradox-within-paradox structure...." Clark
"As hip and breathless as William Gibson, but spiced with dark humor and the horrible realization that Noon knows of what he writes....There are real characters in here, real people with real emotions. There is love and pain, hope and despair; deaths which mean something and sacrifices which cost. Vurt is passionate, distinctive, demanding and enthralling--first time novelist Noon has started with a bang." Cowley
