Griffey,

I'm very sad this morning at the news of the passing of Vernor Vinge...his novels are among the very best in sci-fi, and while I don't agree with his views on the concept of the Singularity, he was a thoughtful, careful thinker who more people should read.

I had the great privilege to interview Vernor back in 2011 for the ALA Midwinter conference. https://jasongriffey.net/2011/01/18/my-interview-with-vernor-vinge/ and speak with him several times of the years. He will be missed.

@Griffey I had always hoped to meet him and have a chat. Glad to see this interview, and will now inhabit your virtual video avatar as if I did.
