This was some out there singularity fiction back in the day with some really vivid imagery including being raped by a zombie, skinning the protagonist alive and dumping a mound of fire ants on them, and some incest. I re-read this occasionally and still enjoy reading it if only because it feels truthy for how various shades of humanity would deal with an immortality giving, reality altering, techno-god. The shock value of various scenes mimics the darker corners of the internet and does a good job exploring the dichotomy of behavior on and off the internet in the guise of dealing with the reality foisted upon the characters.

If you've not read it, and aren't bothered by some extreme imagery, I definitely recommend.

I suggest removing the explicit spoilers about what happens in the book. Some of the shock value comes from experiencing those scenes for the first time.

But yeah. It's a hella graphic and violent story.
