Vinge is great. Releasing the sequel to A Fire Upon the Deep soon.

If you haven't read it yet, check out Rainbows End. It's amazing just how much that book predicts.

Vernor Vinge needs to publicly apologize for making the Children of the Sky.

It was one of the worst books i've ever read. You know a book is bad when the characters have dialogue like "I think i'm finally sure, i'm sure than Nevil is evil"

I think he's done as a sci fi author. His greatest contributions will always be A Deepness in the Sky and A Fire Upon the Deep.

I ask because there is a direct sequel to A Fire Upon the Deep coming out in October. I was wondering if you'd gotten an advance proof or something.

Awesome, get ready to the 3rd book coming Oct. 11th.

Wish Granted.
