Rainbows End
by Vernor Vinge
· published 2006 · read 2018-03-23
★★★★☆
Well, this was great scifi. It was focussed on a not very likeable, but very real character, and a completely informationally connected world. I enjoyed that it focussed so much on where and how information flowed, and the implications of VR. Lots of fun!
A Fire Upon the Deep
by Vernor Vinge
· published 1992 · read 2019-03-03
★★★★☆
A Fire Upon the Deep was very impressive scifi! The scope ranges across the complete universe, complete with medieval worlds, advanced civilisations, up to god-like transcended entities, their interactions, and wildly alien races. And at the same time, the story gets up close to humans and aliens alike, and lets the reader live epic events at a comprehendable scale.
