Adventures in Scifi Publishing interviews Vernor Vinge in episode 140. You would think he would be as intense as Raymond Kurzweil, but he seems like a light and easy going guy. Vernor describes his Zones of Thought universe. He also likes Charles Stross’s novel Accelerando and a short story from his Toast anthology called Antibodies |Read Our Review|. His new novel The Children Of The Sky comes out this month, which is a direct (within 20 years, as opposed to the 20,000 years of the prequel A Deepness In The Sky) sequel to A Fire In The Deep. Vernor also mentions (at 34 min) one of Poul Anderson’s Dominic Flandry books where three species form a single mind (The Rebel Worlds according to this)
