About this Item

Marooned in Realtime (1986) by Vernor Vinge. Published by Bluejay Books. First edition. First print. A Fine book with mild ageing. Dust jacket is protected by mylar cover. The second work in Vernor Vinge's Realtime (1984-86) series, Marooned in Realtime is an post-singularity work that is instrumental to the history of sf and the history of ideas. Vinge not only helped pave the way for the Cyberpunk movement but he also left a big mark on postmodern space opera. Vinge s writing has played a pivotal role in the development of singularity literature as well having first introduced the concept in True Names (1981) and Marooned in Realtime, which further fleshes out the concept, remains an important work in the history of sf as well as in the history of ideas.

About this title

Synopsis

While the last of humanity's survivors struggle to keep the race alive, one person plots to seize control, and the murder of one of the prime movers in the struggle becomes a matter of paramount importance to all

Review

"The scope and grandeur of the plot mark this novel as a high point in hard SF creativity. Highly recommended."

"Marooned in Realtime combines the expansive mode of hard SF with the narrow focus of the detective story, complete with a final orchestrated showdown. The result is exciting; you can hardly turn the pages fast enough."

"Splendid long-range sequel to The Peace War. A marvelous extrapolative tale, to which no summary can do justice, with a gripping blend of high-tech razzle-dazzle and good old-fashioned murder-mystery--all spiced with that unique and awe-inspiring new twist on the time-travel theme. Easily Vinge''s best work, and highly recommended."
