Vernor Vinge - novel and particularly inventive ways. He was nominated for the Hugo Award for both books, but in each case lost to novels by William Gibson and Orson Scott Card. These two novels and "True Names" also emphasized Vinge's interest in the technological singularity. "True Names" takes place in a world on the cusp of the singularity. The Peace War shows a world in which the singularity has been postponed by the Bobbles, while Marooned in Realtime follows a small group of people who have managed to miss the singularity which otherwise encompassed Earth. Vinge finally won the Hugo Award with his 1992 novel, A Fire Upon the Deep. In it, Vinge postulates that the galaxy is divided up into "zones of thought", in which the further one moves from the center.
