Rainbows End

Title: Rainbows End
Author: Vernor Vinge

Your thoughts: READ THIS BOOK! It's fantastic. I loved the story but most of all I loved the imagination of the future the author predicts. It's scary. boy I am not sure i would want to be plugged in all the time but it's also interesting how collaboration has increased. The collaborative world he imagines encourages people to share information and to help each other solve problems. at MPOW i wear a walkie talkie and a headset. at anytime i can call on my co-workers for assistance locating a book or if we need more help at the info desk.
