![]() Interesting note, SF Reviews did not even mention the Rabbit. And his ideas of what would happen to old people whose diseases were suddently cured is inspiring.īut I can't get past the question "What happened to the Rabbit ?" Günberk Braun, like most in the inner circles of the EUIB, had an enormous (lets be frank: an apprehensive ) respect for the power of open intelligence analysis. HIs vision of secret personal messaging is excellent and shows that the next evolutionary step after IM is still just a conversation. At the end of the day, the whole affair had cancelled itself out, just another tiny ripple in the myriad conversations of public life. Vinge's vision of a technological life is encouraging. Saying more would perhaps give away a spoiler. ![]() In the end we are left to guess as to the core of Rabbit's essence. Vinge may intend on writing a sequel, but he still should give some hints. We don't know if he is dead or alive, a winner or a loser. So why after all this effort and success would Vinge leave the character unresolved at the end of the book? We learn nothing about Rabbit. Vinge showed his genius in creating Rabbit as one of the heroes, or was it an anti-hero? It's hard to classify. ![]() It's not a spoiler to say that The Rabbit is one of the most intriguing and important characters of any book I've recently read. Overall it was an interesting portrayal of life in the near future when personal technology has become as useful as shoes and eyeglasses.īut I have to say the ending of this book was a tremendous disappointment. There were some things about this book which were very difficult to follow in audio, perhaps reading it would be easier. I just finished listening to Verner Vinge's book " Rainbows End". ![]()
