Main Index Vinge, Vernor A Fire Upon the Deep This book is packed with enough ideas to pad out an entire career for many writers. From speculations on the nature of intelligence and technology to wonderfully inventive aliens, and with a good bit of space opera mixed in, this book has it all. It reminds me of nothing so much as Startide Rising , though the books are actually quite different in tone. A Deepness In the Sky This is a prequel to A Fire Upon the Deep , despite which it is an excellent book. I'm not normally a big fan of prequels, because I dislike already knowing the ending to the story. But here, Vinge presents us with a story to which we don't already know the ending by telling us the tale of Pham Nuwen, whose memories of his past in Fire were sketchy and of questionable accuracy. He also sets the story in a different part of the universe, where even the laws of physics work differently. In these ways, Vinge avoids all the customary traps into which prequels are wont to fall. And while he's busy performing that bit of deft footwork, he manages to throw in yet another race of interesting aliens, some nifty stylistic tricks, an involving and interesting plot, lots of neat sense-of-wonder stuff, and some interesting characters. This book is certainly the equal of the excellent Fire , and possibly its better a rare feat indeed for a prequel.

Customer Service Vernor Vinge Biography and Notes Vernor Steffen Vinge (pronounced VIN-jee, rhyming with 'stingy') (born February 10, 1944) is a mathematician, computer scientist and science fiction author who is best known for his Hugo award-winning novel A Fire Upon the Deep , and for his 1993 essay "The Technological Singularity", in which he argues that exponential growth in technology will reach a point beyond which we cannot even speculate about the consequences. Vinge published his first short story, "Bookworm, Run!", in 1965 in Analog Science Fiction, then edited by John W. Campbell. He was then a moderately prolific contributor to SF magazines in the 1960s and early 1970s, including adapting two of his stories into a short novel
