People who know me well are aware that I enjoy good science fiction.  One of the best scifi books in recent history is Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge, which has won a 2007 Hugo nomination.

One of the things that makes Vinge a good scifi writer is that he is well educated in science and technology (former professor in math and CS).   According to Dr. Thad Starner, a wearables expert from GA Tech who is acquainted with Vinge, I know that Vinge was an early subscriber to the "Wearables Mailing List."  All of this means that Vinge is well-versed in the current capabilities and exciting future of wearable devices and human-computer interfaces.  To make a long story short, I love this book.

Anyway... I was thrilled to get an email from a colleague (Dan) that Vinge released a free, full-text, online copy of Rainbows End!!!  You can find the link on Vinge's website:  Vrinimi.org.  The direct link to the book can be found here.  Enjoy (and if you like the book, be sure to support the author by buying a copy -- we want to send a clear message that "we want more").
