Vernor Vinge: De krochten van het heelal (Dutch language, 2001, Meulenhoff-M)

Twee menselijke ruimtevloten moeten samenwerken om de ontwakende technologie van een niet-menselijk ras te gebruiken …

Review of 'De krochten van het heelal' on 'Goodreads'

The one thing that stuck with me is how Vinge manages to give you an idea of how time would work when travelling in a universe. I haven't seen many books that capture this so well. Arranging a meeting 1000 years ahead of time, why not?

This is only a small part of the story, but it's one of the many small things in this book that really captured my imagination. That and the Internet of Things. In 2000!

(BTW I read the Dutch version on Meulenhoff-*M)
