The author of both fiction and non-fiction, he is best known for the novels in the [[Ware Tetralogy]], the first two of which (''[[Software (novel)|Software]]'' and ''[[Wetware (novel)|Wetware]]'') both won [[Philip K. Dick Award]]s. Until its closure in 2014 heHe edited the science fiction [[webzine]] ''[[Flurb]]'' until its closure in 2014.

Rucker was born and raised in [[Louisville, Kentucky]], son of Embry Cobb Rucker Sr (October 1, 1914 - August 1, 1994), who ran a small furniture-manufacture company and later became an Episcopal priest and community activist, and Marianne (née von Bitter).<ref>{{cite news| url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1994/08/02/obituaries/ded9b5c2-62a4-4f9b-8f00-66419749ed92| title = OBITUARIES - The Washington Post| newspaper = [[The Washington Post]]}}</ref> The Rucker family were of [[Huguenot]] descent.<ref>http://www.rudyrucker.com/pdf/autobiography2004.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref> Through his mother, he is a great-great-great-grandson of [[Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel]].<ref>The Sound of Wonder: Interviews from "The Science Fiction Radio Show" vol. 1, Daryl Lane et al, Oryx Press, 1985, p. 169</ref><ref>Other Worlds: Spirituality and the Search for Invisible Dimensions, Christopher G.

Rucker attended [[St. Xavier High School, Louisville, Kentucky|St. Xavier High School]] before earning a [[B.A.Bachelor of Arts|BA]] in [[mathematics]] from [[Swarthmore College]] (1967) and [[M.S.Master of Science|MS]] (1969) and [[Ph.D.PhD]] (1973) degrees in mathematics from [[Rutgers University]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Rudy Rucker|url=http://www.nndb.com/people/716/000023647/|work=[[NNDB]]}}</ref>

Rucker taught mathematics at the [[State University of New York at Geneseo]] from 1972 to 1978. Although he was liked by his students and "published a book [''Geometry, Relativity and the Fourth Dimension''] and several papers," several colleagues took umbrage at his long hair and convivial relationships with English and philosophy professors amid looming budget shortfalls; as a result, he failed to attain tenure in the "dysfunctional" department.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-rbwOWK4Dn8C&q=tenure|title=Nested Scrolls: The Autobiography of Rudolf Von Bitter Rucker|first=Rudy|last=Rucker|date=December 11, 2012|publisher=Macmillan|via=Google Books|isbn=9780765327536}}</ref>

Thanks to a grant from the [[Alexander von Humboldt Foundation]], Rucker taught at the [[Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg]] from 1978 to 1980. He then taught at [[Randolph-Macon Women's College]] in [[Lynchburg, Virginia]] from 1980 to 1982, before trying his hand as a full-time author for four years.

Inspired by an interview with [[Stephen Wolfram]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hplusmagazine.com/articles/ai/wolframalpha-searching-truth |title=Rudy Rucker interviews Stephen Wolfram|access-date=April 8, 2009-04-08}}</ref> Rucker became a computer science professor at [[San José State University]] in 1986, from which he retired as [[professor emeritus]] in 2004.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Everything Is Alive|first=Rudy|last= Rucker|date= January 20, 2008|citeseerx=10.1.1.92.2841}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Rudy Rucker|url=http://www.locusmag.com/2005/Issues/09Rucker.html|work=[[Locus (magazine)|Locus]]}}</ref>

From 1988 to 1992 he was hired by [[John Walker (programmer)|John Walker]] of [[Autodesk]] as a programmer of [https://www.fourmilab.ch/cellab/ cellular automata] by [[John Walker (programmer)|John Walker]] of [[Autodesk]], which inspired his book ''[[The Hacker and the Ants]]''.

As his "own alternative to cyberpunk," Rucker developed a writing style he terms [[Transrealism (literature)|transrealism]]. Transrealism, as outlined in his 1983 essay "[https://www.rudyrucker.com/pdf/transrealistmanifesto.pdf ''The Transrealist Manifesto"''], is science fiction based on the author's own life and immediate perceptions, mixed with fantastic elements that symbolize psychological change. Many of Rucker's novels and short stories apply these ideas. One example of Rucker's transreal works is ''Saucer Wisdom'', a novel in which the main character is [[Abduction Phenomenon|abducted by aliens]]. Rucker and his publisher marketed the book, tongue in cheek, as non-fiction.{{citation needed|date=April 2015}}

His non-fiction book, ''The Lifebox, the Seashell, and the Soul: What Gnarly Computation Taught Me About Ultimate Reality, the Meaning Of Life, and How To Be Happy'' summarizes the various philosophies he's believed over the years and ends with the tentative conclusion that we might profitably view the world as made of computations, with the final remark, "perhaps this universe is perfect."<ref>{{citationcite book |last1=Rucker |first1=Rudy |title=The Lifebox, the Seashell, and the Soul needed|date=April2005 2015|publisher=Thunder's Mouth Press |location=New York, NY |isbn=978-1-56025-898-8 |page=468}}</ref>
