Вернор Виндж: A Deepness in the Sky

A Deepness in the Sky is a science fiction novel by Vernor Vinge. Published in 1999, the novel is a loose prequel (set twenty thousand years earlier) to his earlier novel A Fire Upon the Deep (1992). The title is coined by one of the story’s main characters in a debate, in a reference to the hibernating habits of his species and to the vastness of space.

Nebula Award nominee, 1999, Hugo, Campbell, and Prometheus Awards winner, 2000, Clarke and Locus SF Awards nominee, 2000.
