[QUOTE="Kramodlog, post: 7480082, member: 55961"] I finished [I]A Fire Upon the Deep[/I]. It was very enjoyable as it is packed with many ideas. I like the end and the new status quo, even if everyone meets up at the same time too conveniently. The new status quo opens all sorts of doors. It was really fun world building. I thought AFUtD influenced Charles Stross' [I]Accelerando[/I], but on Goodreads he told me it wasn't a big influence, but it did influence [I]Singularity Sky[/I]. It's gonna be my next novel right after I finish [I]Red Mars[/I] by Kim Stanley Robinson. RM is a slogged. It is full of big ideas that kept making me stop and think about them. That makes the reading last longer, but isn't necessarely a bad thing. The problem is that it's also boring. There is no plot until the middle of the book. And even then... Still, Robinson had some great insight. It was published in 1992 and sure saw the longer term effects of global warming. [/QUOTE]
