Across Realtime Series by Vernor Vinge Across Realtime is a science fiction novel by Vernor Vinge. This is Vinge's first full length novel. For some strange reason, I've never gotten around to it before now. There is very little connection between the two books and they could easily have been and originally were published in separate volumes. The Peace War takes place around — fifty years after the War of Plagues, which was won by the Peace Authority, when they invented Bobbles. So, a Bobble is an energy sphere that once created will reflect everything except gravityso if you bobble a nuclear missile just as it explodes — well, problem solved. And as Bobbles last forever, well, they do last forever, right? Well, maybe not. Old man Paul and his young apprentice Wili are fighting against the Peace Authority, who has been keeping the peace for the last 50 years, through its monopoly on technology and especially bobble technology. Marooned in Realtime takes place fifty thousand years in the future. Across Realtime the Peace War humanity went back to unchecked technological progress. About two hundred years later the human race disappeared from the face of the earth. The only people left are people who Across Realtime bobble technology have traveled to the future. Brierson was a cop in the Across Realtime century Across Realtime a "customer" bobbled him to the future to escape capture. Now Brierson has Across Realtime solve the murder of the only person who Across Realtime have stood a chance at uniting the few remaining humans and create a fresh start. And if he can figure out what happened to the rest of humanity along the way — so much the Across Realtime. Both of these stories are amazingly imaginative. The idea of the Bobbles carries a lot of The Peace War, but there is so much more, and Across Realtime way they move on to Marooned in Realtime, becoming just another bit in the machinery of the future okay, quite a large bitmakes me tingle with joy. Both of Across Realtime stories received a Hugo Awards and seldom has a Hugo been so well deserved. Now, if Vinge would only learn to type a little faster and keep up the quality.
