Just finished *Fire Upon the Deep*. The picture he paints of future communications (e.g., social media) and AI holds up really well and is extraordinarily prescient considering its from 1992.

Great book! You'll love the sequel, A Deepness in the Sky. Vinge possessed exceptional clarity of vision on the future trajectories of information technologies. Being a Math and Computer Science professor probably helped. :)
