Wanted to like to the sci-fi tech descriptions, but just never got hooked into the plot, characters, dialog, or anything about the world. (  ) ds_db | Apr 25, 2022 |  A real chore to make it halfway through. Having read through most of Vinge's earlier works, I was expecting more. What I got was some of the weakest aspects of earlier works magnified, and the most interesting aspects mostly absent. Way too much focus on gee whiz sci file technology, way too much focus on clumsy, microscopic level dialogue, and an absence of a compelling plot or interesting world building. ( ) wideblacksky | Mar 19, 2022 | A really novel plot, combined with great characterisation makes for an unusual and absolutely beguiling book. (  ) malcrf | Apr 20, 2021 | Interesting tech, but not one of Vinge's more compelling reads. The characters feel a little too much like cutouts. The best part of the tech was the notion that adults could not compete with children in the realm of eduction. The kids just lived and breathed it in a way adults could not. But, of course, in the end experience does matter. (  ) tsgood | Dec 20, 2020 | Putting this one down for awhile. It starts with a really interesting premise and then focuses on a real jerk weasel. I get cranky and unhappy every time I read a little bit of it. Some day I'd like to come back and see where he goes with the premise, but not today.

The information revolution of the past thirty years blossoms into a web of conspiracies that could destroy Western civilisation. At the centre of the action is Robert Gu, a former Alzheimer's victim who has regained his mental and physical health through radical new therapies, and his family.His son and daughter-in-law are both in the military - but not a military we would recognise - while his middle school-age granddaughter is involved in perhaps the most dangerous game of all, with people and forces more powerful than she or her parents can imagine.Filled with excitement and Vinge's trademark potpourri of fascinating ideas, Rainbows End is another triumphantly entertaining novel by one of the true masters of the field.
