A Fire Upon the Deep

A world with different “zones of thought”, where the local laws of physics influence the speed of computation. Where A.I.s that reach a technological singularity become “powers”. And we meet the medieval culture of the “Tines” who live as packs that form group minds. Exploring that concept - the advantages the disadvantages of groups minds - was especially fascinating. Around it all is a space opera. I could have done without the occasional action sequence, as they felt a bit B-movie like. But, all in all a fun read.
