Vernor "Singularity" Vinge will be speaking tonight at a bookstore in the Haight. I wish I was in San Francisco, but I'll be on a plane back from DC during this.
Vernor Vinge, The Collected Stories of Vernor Vinge
Author Appearance: Wednesday, August 28 @ 7 pm
Though perhaps best known for his Hugo Award-winning novels, Vernor Vinge began his career as a writer of short fiction more than 35 years ago. The Collected Stories of Vernor Vinge brings together the best of the author's challenging, visionary work, including such major pieces as "The Ungoverned" and "The Blabber." Vernor Vinge's 1981 work, "True Names," helped predict cyberspace and the Internet.
