Jeff Noon: Needle in the groove

has anyone read this book? they were talking about it on TV
today, and it sounded cool.

they said that, in the book, they have a new way of storing
music; in tiny balls, filled with liquid. and then you could
inject this fluid and "become one with the music"... and if
you wanted to make a remix, you'd just shake the ball!

I think I will check it out.

Yeah it's bloody good. I also recommend any other of his
books, especially vert and nymphomation.

you could try "cobralingus" next - his last book, completely
describing the cobralingus filtering system.. really, really
weird AND interesting..

mixing and he used different programs to write it? utterly
confused... but it sounds cool none the less
