Andrew Glyph Posted March 21 Clone Share Posted March 21 Vernor Vinge, who was quietly ahead of his time. Current news stories are celebrating him for creating the term "Singularity" in regards to artificial intelligence. I became aware of him through his fictional work "True Names," which pre-dated Neuromancer and contained similar themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leons1701 Posted March 21 Clone Share Posted March 21 True Names was to my knowledge the first to posit a virtual reality "cyberspace" and thus is one of the earliest precursors of cyberpunk. Within the SF community, he's probably better known for A Fire Upon the Deep and A Deepness in the Sky and other related works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
