review 1: I totally failed to see why this book is so highly thought of and recommended. The entire story is essentially Juan coming to realize what is clear to everyone else - including the reader - from the very beginning. Vinge's vision of the future was nothing special; kids are really smart and get to use neat technology, whoopty do. Even though the story is relatively short, I found it difficult to stay interested though I did, finally, manage my way through it.
review 2: The test run for Rainbows End. Focused on JuanFast times : vinge's thoughts on education--learnng to learn. Is this how he sees it actually happening, or is it meant to be more conceptual? Juan's parents are a great contrast for their unintuitive future-proofness: personal service & flexible lo... morecal smarts vs. Slavish technical mastery of a specific techSD turns out to be a very interesting cocktail for a future setting, when mined properly by vinge. USMC, tech industru, race mixture, geisel library, art community, etc (I may not have given SD a fair shake) less
