Book Reviews of The Peace War
Book Review: A fictional explanation
Summary: 5 Stars
This was Vernor Vinge's fictional working out of the concept of the "technological singularity". This may or may not be a truth of reality, it seems like it probably is, but this is an important work just for being where he developed the concept. (His arguments for believing it to be accurate are made elsewhere.)I HIGHLY recommend this book, and even more his recent short story "Lobsters" (if you can find it). Also "True Names", though that may now be slightly dated...or perhaps not (as technical advances happen, possibilities appear, and disappear, and then sometimes reappear in slightly different forms).
