books n drugs

I came across this interesting list in my secondary read yesterday. Imaginary drugs from literature, film and television. Check it out:

1. Soma - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
2. Moksha - Aldous Huxley, Island
3. Moloko Plus - Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange
4. Can-D, Chew-Z - Philip K. Dick, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
5. D, Mex Hit - Philip K. Dick, A Scanner Darkly
6. Vurt - Jeff Noon, Vurt
7. Ecstacide, Faith Salts, Christendine, Buddhine, Algebrine, Authentium, Amnesol, Duetine, and many more - Stanislav Lem, The Futurological Congress
8. Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash*
9. Kryptonite - Joe Shuster/Jerry Siegel, Superman
10. Magic Potion - Albert Underzo/Rene' Goscinny, Asterix the Gaul
11. Spice or Melange - Frank Herbert, Dune
12. Glitterstim, Carsunum, Ryll Spices - Star Wars literary universe
13. Number Twelve - Nick McDonell, Twelve
14. Space Honey - Futurama
15. Synthehol - Star Trek: The Next Generation
16. Chemical -Ray Loriga, Tokyo Doesn't Love Us Anymore
17. Abulinix - Benjamin Kunkel, Indecision

I like how almost all of this list is science fiction. I can think of one they missed: Dylar - Don DeLillo, White Noise. While hyperlinking this post, I came across this list of fictional medicines and drugs. It's a much longer list which draws from a broader range of sources, including songs, cartoons and video games

Rudy being Rudy

One of the many reasons I like Rudy Rucker is the videos he does like these. He's just goofing around with a camera, enjoying nature. Just a regular guy, like me.

What should I read next?

I'm thinking Snow Crash, but Into Hot Air looks good too.

Here's Rudy

I'm so happy to be reading Rudy Rucker again. He's not just my favorite author, he's also a teacher, a blogger and an artist. I thought this was a good video to post here as I am currently reading a book he wrote about an artist named Pete.
