True Names Vernor Vinge Bob Walters Marvin Minsky Books Reviews

Goid book, arrived early!
I usually don't enjoy short stories, but I made an exception for this book because I had heard good things about True Names. Vinge does an amazing job of character/plot development in each of these short stories. The common theme of "singularity" is explored in each.
This is a classic, and I was really glad to get it on the . Very prescient author.
Needs an Audible version!
The book I ordered was packed super meticulously and with great care. I thought, why all this for a book? Open up the first page, there's a signature from Vernor Vinge... 5/5
Great collection of essays from the past, about an even older included story, that describe a perspective of possible futures; many seemingly having come to pass and others that appear to grow more possible with each new day.
True names is the first entry in the cyberpunk genre. It's well worth hunting down if you are fan of Sci-Fi.

My favorite of the early cyberpunk stories though is John Brunner's Shockwave Rider. This novel introduces the now widely used metaphor of pathogens for malign computer programs using the terms phage and worm.
READ THIS BOOK. It has NOT gone stale. It's more relevant than ever. It's STILL mind-blowing.
