Vernor Vinge’s “Rainbows End” Wins ‘Best Novel’ at Hugo Awards!
Via Simon Sharwood’s twitter, I just learned that Vernor Vinge’s “Rainbows End” has just won the coveted ‘Best Novel’ award at the Hugo Awards! A massive congratulations from all at TPN to Vernor. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend getting yourself a copy of RAINBOWS END. It is a brilliant imagining of what the net will probably look like in 2025.
Vinge was recently on G’Day World and I guess this is as good a time as any to give it another plug! Listen to my July 2007 interview with Vernor Vinge here.
Nice one Mister Vinge!
I actually like this book after I read it, even though I was looking for something more Cyberpunkish when I started. Now…when should we expect a sequel?
Oh shit, that is a cool sounding book!
