Tavish reviewed A Fire Upon The Deep by Vernor Vinge (Zones of Thought, #1)
Review of 'A Fire Upon The Deep' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
3.5/5 stars, I went in with really high expectations maybe.
It's a enjoyable space opera with two interlinked plots happening at the same time, one about a transcendent being taking over civilizations, and one about a 'medieval' one with psychic dogs and a crashed spaceship.
I have a theory about this book; for the first plot above, the author is actually writing about flame wars on internet bulletin boards, and IRC (relays, 'netsplits'), some people having dial-up and some having 'broadband'.
