"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 the 2020 US presidential election. The tone is hip, bright, and darkly comic, with generous helpings of Rucker's SF surrealism. Romances interweave the tale.
