Notes for The Lifebox, the Seashell, and the Soul, by Rudy Rucker On Avalon’s behalf I will say that the made a nice spread for the book in their catalog. And they revised the cover to use a photo I took of an actual textile cone shell that Wolfram himself gave me, my personal talisman. And, of course, they were, via Oakes, one of the only houses willing to publish my idiosyncratic book. *** So I slogged thru it and mailed it back today. Did a rewrite of the ending, made it more upbeat. Before the ending was, like, “nah, none of this true.” My bad old “Imp of the Perverse” had taken over last August-September, my underminer. But I brought it back to be more hard-hitting. Here’s a picture of the revised last page. p. 140
Notes for The Lifebox, the Seashell, and the Soul, by Rudy Rucker I hope they’ll put the changes all in, and resize the pictures I asked for. Well, now “the tome is in the mail,” as Sylvia said when we went to the beach today. July 25, 2005. Second Round Page Proofs. I saw a second round of the page proofs and everything was fine. The images the right size, the footnotes fixed, the equations good, the copy-edits in place and looking reasonable after all. I polished the text a little more. I edited that cover photo of the cone shell Stephen Wolfram had given me — I noticed that in the photo you could (faintly) see the label Stephen had glued on it, “www.wolfram.com”! So got a shot of the shell without the label. Tweaked some of the drawings a bit. So now the tome is really done, although I still have to go out and do some promo this fall. I’m happy with the book, I think it’s a classic. A Magnum Opus. And I’m [probably] done with computers for good! p. 141
