Vernor Vinge.

Just finished 'The Blabber' by Vernor Vinge, that means I've finished 99% of 'The Zones of Thought' with all 3 main books done and this short story, the only thing left is a short introduction to 'Children of the sky'

It's truly a special series and I can't suggest it enough.

I was carried away by the short story by the time I finished it.

How the narrative of the series develops out of chronological order not only WITHIN the series but OUTSIDE of the novels by way of Vinge writing them all out of order is masterful and it gives the impression that the series can be enjoyed from many approaches simply by starting the series at different books, similar to the starwars movies.

I wish Vinge had a few more novels in him, he is I believe, throughly retired and it's sad to think he won't be around for more of my life.

I still have more books to read by him is the last comfort I have on that.

Tldr if you haven't read 'A Fire Upon The Deep' by him, go give it a shot.
