The writer’s death at the age of 80 was announced by his friend and colleague David Brin.
Vernor Steffen Vinge was born in 1944 in Wisconsin. He taught mathematics and computer science at the university.
Vinge was the first of those who began to address the issues of technological singularity and cyberspace on a large scale in his books.
Vinge published his first story in 1965, in a magazine edited by John Campbell Jr., the author of “Who Are You?”, the same one that went through three film adaptations as “The Thing.”
