    Extractions: Automazione della squadra Uomo/Computer: si prendano problemi che siano normalmente considerati per la semplice soluzione meccanica (come problemi di scalata) e si disegnino programmi e interfacce che si avvantaggino dell'intuizione degli umani e della disposizione dell'hardware informatico. Considerando la bizzarria dei problemi di scalata a dimensione elevata (e gli algoritmi accurati che sono stati escogitati per la loro soluzione), si possono fornire al membro umano del gruppo dimostrazioni e strumenti di controllo proprio interessanti.

    Extractions: This book is very good. It would stand alone as a book well-worth reading even if it didn't have a "sort of" sequel waiting in the wings ("sort of" because you don't really have to have read this book to enjoy A Deepness in the Sky, but it helps) that's even better.

    Extractions: Thirty thousand gears before the events recounted in Vernor Vinge's Hugo Award-winning A Fire Upon the Deep, Pham Nuwen is living in anonymity as a minor cog in the great machine that is the Oeng Ho interstellar trading fleet. In high orbit above the planet Arachna, Pham and the ship's crew wait for the awakening of Arachna's dormant inhabitants, the Spiders, which will come when the On/Off star their planet orbits relights after decades of darkness. When the light returns the Spiders are due to emerge to a Golden Age of technology and commerce - an age the Oeng Ho are ideally placed to exploit. The Emergents are reluctant to share their spoils with the Oeng Ho and unleash a smart bio-weapon that reduces the crew of the Oeng Ho fleet to a legion of automatons. Only a few survivors escape this living death. Around him, Pham gathers the remaining untainted Oeng Ho and tries one last time to be worthy of a reputation deserving of the ancient and glorious history of his people. As his underground resistance moves against the Emergents the Spiders below are fighting their own internecine battles unaware of the invisible threat out in space …

    Extractions: by Jim Frenkel Among serious science fiction writers, Vernor Vinge is considered one of the most highly respected writers in the field. For years, professional writers and editors would walk around saying things like, "Boy, that Vernor Vinge is really terrific. Its really a shame that more readers havent discovered his books." And for a number of years, this was quite true. Vernor Vinge was better known in the late 1960s and early 1970s than he was in 1983. His debut novel, GRIMMS WORLD, was quite highly regarded for its imaginative premise, well-worked out science, evocative depiction of life on a planet with an unusual geology, and its general "sense of wonder". He had written a number of intriguing and effective short stories for John W. Campbell's Analog. In the second half of the 1960s, he was definitely a young hard-SF writer to watch. His second novel, THE WITLING wasn't published until 1975, and by 1976 he had stopped writing SF, concentrating instead on his career in academe first as a mathematician and then, with the development of computer science as field independent of mathematics, as a computer scientist. He credits the fact that he had came to formal computer learning rather late as something of an advantage he didn't know what was "impossible". While Vernor was learning and teaching computer science, his then wife, Joan D. Vinge, was starting her own science fiction career, beginning in 1973. When she garnered a sizable advance for

    Extractions: V ernor Vinge has never been accused of being prolific, but what his work lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in quality. His first published fiction, a short story titled "Apartness," appeared in 1965 and since then Vinge has built a reputation as one of the most inventive writers of hard science fiction working today. He earned Hugo nominations for his 1984 novel The Peace War and its 1986 sequel Marooned in Realtime (both collected in Across Realtime ) but it was his 1992 novel A Fire Upon the Deep which finally won him the elusive Hugo. The sequel to that work, A Deepness in the Sky repeated the feat in 2000 and his novella "Fast Times at Fairmont High" (available in his Collected Stories ) completed the Hugo hat-trick in 2001. A long-time computer science professor at San Diego State University, Vinge has recently retired from academia and now devotes himself to fiction full-time. Jayme Lynn Blaschke: I have to apologize for my first question, because I know it's one you're asked in every interview. But I see no way around it: Can you please describe the concept of the singularity as you perceive it? Vernor Vinge: My version is that in the near-historical future, it seems very likely that we will be able to create beings that are smarter than humans in every way we think of humans being smart and creative. This sort of technical advance is qualitatively different from other technical advances, and it qualifies for the name "singularity" in that the world afterwards is intrinsically unknowable to people on our side of the singularity.

    Extractions: Is such progress avoidable? If not to be avoided, can events be guided so that we may survive? These questions are investigated. Some possible answers (and some further dangers) are presented. The acceleration of technological progress has been the central feature of this century. I argue in this paper that we are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth. The precise cause of this change is the imminent creation by technology of entities with greater than human intelligence. There are several means by which science may achieve this breakthrough (and this is another reason for having confidence that the event will occur): There may be developed computers that are "awake" and superhumanly intelligent. (To date, there has been much controversy as to whether we can create human equivalence in a machine. But if the answer is "yes, we can", then there is little doubt that beings more intelligent can be constructed shortly thereafter.)
