A superb time travel mystery
|
| After hearing Vernor Vinge speak recently, it was no surprise to me that Marooned In Realtime is a thoughtful, intelligent novel. Science fiction that spans great periods of time is often forced to throw characterization overboard as the scope overwhelms individuals (e.g. Stapledon's otherwise excellent Last and First Men reads more like a treatise on the future than a novel). Vinge's tale of a small group of time travelers living in the ruins of a post Singularity Earth is epic in scope but at the core is a compelling personal tale of companions lost in the distant past and hope for the future. This book is an underappreciated classic and one of the best science fiction novels I have read in some time. |
