Vinge's book is better written, and there are some speculations in Tchaikovsky's book that I can't help thinking are highly improbable, but the good far outweighs these flaws and I give it a firm recommendation.īelow I'll give more precise details about the similarities.īoth books deal with the collapse of civilizations, and both are primarily about slower than light travel of humans to distant stars for first contact with a pre-space insect-like alien race that is not as advanced technologically. The stories are quite different Children is not a ripoff, but it definitely seems inspired by some of the major themes in Deepness. I'm currently reading Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky and it has strong parallels with Deepness. I loved A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. Know any others?
