The Children of the Sky continues the epic scifi adventure of Hugo award-winning A Fire Upon the Deep! âVinge is one of the best visionary writers of SF today.â âDavid Brin Thousands of years in the future, humanity is no longer alone in a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures, and technology, can function. Nobody knows what strange force partitioned space into these "regions of thought," but when the warring Straumli realm use an ancient Transcendent artifact as a weapon, they unwittingly unleash an awesome power that destroys thousands of worlds and enslaves all natural and artificial intelligence. Ten years have passed on Tines World, and Ravna and the children have survived a war. While there is peace among the Tines, there are those among themâand among the humansâwho seek powerâ¦and no matter the cost, these malcontents are determined to overturn the fledgling civilization that has taken root since the humans landed.
