He passed on March 20. One of the greatest “hard” science fiction writers, author of True Names, A Fire Upon The Deep, and other cyberspace classics. Link is to his death notice in the old school fanzine File 770. Moment of silence please. RIP.

    Oh. My. God. No… I am really upset.

    The Peace War was my first introduction to his works, and I have read all of his works. The science fiction community has lost another luminary to the vestiges of time.

    Vernor, you were the best. I remember your writings and musings fondly.
