"Rudy Rucker & Marc Laidlaw - The Perfect Wave" - читать интересную книгу автора (Rucker Rudy)

тАЬYou still donтАЩt remember me?тАЭ

тАЬWhat.тАЭ

тАЬWe were in the same physics class freshman year, before you
dropped out.тАЭ

тАЬThat makes you what, a junior now?тАЭ

тАЬI never forgot you, Zep. SummerтАЩs here, and youтАЩre my summer
project. Why do you think I pitched my tent by yours on the beach?тАЭ Kaya
turns her face up at Zep, expecting a kiss, but he backs off, spooked,
frantically shaking the spray-can.

тАЬTo be inside the radius of my awesome electronic sand flea
disintegrator?тАЭ he says, not looking at her. тАЬMaybe someday I can use the
profits to buy a house.тАЭ

тАЬYouтАЩre scared now? After last night?тАЭ says Kaya.

тАЬYouтАЩre stalking me?тАЭ says Zep.

тАЬChasing happiness,тАЭ says Kaya, looking sweet in the fading light.
тАЬAnd I love talking physics with you. IтАЩm writing a term paper about how the
planetary wave function can change modalities and cohere into a fresh
solution. About how the entire Earth can change.тАЭ

тАЬAll these threads at once,тАЭ says Zep, picking up a second spray-can
and shaking the two cans at the same time. тАЬWhat if I just put pieces of
pizza on the wave. Hella easier to draw than Cheezemore Ratt and his
Slicers.тАЭ

тАЬTriangles!тАЭ says Kaya. тАЬThe elemental form. Good idea, Zep.тАЭ

Zep looks at her for a minute and comes to a decision. тАЬPaint this with
me, Kaya. YouтАЩre a better artist than me. Frankly, IтАЩm worried about that
wave I just started. ItтАЩs not epic. It needsтАФoh, of course!тАЭ

Zep sets down his paint cans to fiddle with his surfboard Chaos
Attractor. The surface lights up with pale green scrolls that form a realtime
graphical model of a wavy water surface as seen from above, with the
water-heights coded as shades of green. The tints of green flow like sun
and shadows on a wind-tossed harbor, but thereтАЩs something odd about the
flow, something nonlinear, and now odd square-spiral waves begin rotating
within the stew, sending out shockwaves of altered behavior.

ItтАЩs KayaтАЩs turn to be surprised. тАЬYour surfboardтАЩs a computer? I
heard rumors butтАФhow does it work?тАЭ
