Passing of a sci-fi giant - Vernor Vinge, father of the Singularity

Vernor Vinge may no longer be a household name, but his work is felt across the world now more than ever before!

He was a computer scientist and highly influential author, but he's probably best known through the concept of the technological singularity.

“We will soon create intelligences greater than our own. When this happens … the world will pass beyond our understanding.”
