aww, A Fire Upon the Deep is high on my reread list! Still one of the more thought provoking books i’ve read

RIP

Really liked the fire upon the deep and it’s sequels.

He’s one of my main recommendations for anyone even vaguely interested in sci-fi. Sad news.

He used to go to library conferences somewhat regulary. I meet him a few times and he was always extremely nice. Laste time I saw him was pre covid. He was looking pretty frail even then but still signing books for a line of fans.

Blueshell, noooooooooo!

Oh man, I loved True Names, A Fire Upon The Deep and A Deepness In The Sky. I never got around to read ling the rest or his stuff but maybe it’s time

What a legend. Hexapodia as the key insight.
