A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor VingeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Following up on Scalzi's The Last Emperox (the last book I read), this one digs quite a bit deeper, with much heavier themes, and much more literary writing. Some of the concepts here are really quite interesting and, this does not happen often, makes you think about what it means to be human.
Are our parameters set? Will we not able to advance beyond a certain level because we are limited in our thinking capabilities because we are just one, not a group with a shared consciousness? Or will some other forces stop us? It is an interesting way to think about the Fermi paradox.
