Sinossi editore
""A Deepness in the Sky" more than justifies the old tag 'eagerly anticipated.' It's a space opera dealing with the age-old themes of exploration, first contact, different cultures, exploitation and, inevitably, conflict. An intriguing and mind-stretching epic. Highly recommended."<br>--"SFX"<br> <br>"When I was young and had to write my address in a school notebook, I would begin with my street and apartment number and then go on through city, county, state, country and continent in a litany of ever more grandiose place names that did not end until I reached 'Earth, Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy, The Universe.' In those days, it thrilled me that my small corner of the Bronx was just a one part of the vastness I could see in the sky at night.

I'm about 60% through the book and I've enjoyed the complexities of the entangled story lines, though they are a bit contrived and clichéd. I am enjoying the vision Vinge provides into a future technologically dominated human experience. The vision is well thought as it pertains to the character's daily experience. I appreciate that there is little attempt to describe the technology's origin or mechanics. Much of that is left to the reader to surmise a future with a more powerful, capable and reliable network of internets.
