Luke Rhinehart

Luke Rhinehart is the author of nine works of fiction and philosophy. He has also written ten screenplays, most of them based on his novels.

Interest in Luke’s most famous book, The Dice Man, has undergone a miraculous rebirth in the last decade and is now at an all-time high. The book has been published or republished in 25 languages and is now selling more copies throughout the world than at any time before. The London Telegraph recently called it “one of the 50 great cult books of the last hundred years.”

Such an unusual publishing phenomenon has occurred not just because the book is entertaining, but also because it challenges its readers to look at the way we live our lives.

Dicepeople get from (dicing) a tolerably sharp sense of risk, impermanence and variety.

Interest

This world-wide interest has led to films, documentaries, TV series, stage plays and pieces of rock music inspired by the book.

There has also been an explosion of interest in the phenomena of diceliving. The concept of the dicelife is simple: create options of things to do, roles to play, acts to perform and let chance choose what you do by the roll of a die. Dozens of blogs, websites, Facebook pages, and Twitter sites have sprung up to follow diceliving, A new Dice Life App, a game that will introduce the dice life to hundreds of thousands of new players, will launch this April.
