minus-squareVithar@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up29·2 年前There is a fun fun sci-fi book called “Deepness in the Sky” by Vernor Vinge. The Humans use epoch time with si prefixed Seconds for time,
minus-squareelectrorocket@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 年前That is a great book. Did you read the sequels?
minus-squarewtfeweguys@lemmy.whynotdrs.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 年前Did you say sequels??? I’ve read A Fire Upon the Deep and a Deepness in the Sky. There are others???
minus-squarewtfeweguys@lemmy.whynotdrs.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 年前I’ll have to check that out. I’ve enjoyed some of Vinge’s other work as well. The Peace War, Marooned in Realtime, and Rainbow’s End were all pretty great reads as I recall (been awhile).
