One of my favorite sci-fi books. I had a lot of fun thinking about how I would implement the localizers. I don't have the relevant background so I later found out that my ideas, some of which I put into a blog post[0], were rather naïve.

Anyway, great timing to see this posted over the Christmas break. I wanted to reread The Witcher, but this has revived my desire to read more of Vernor Vinge. Recommendations welcome.
