The thing I found amazing when I found Verner Vinge was that there were still sci-fi authors of his calibre that I had never heard of, given I have been reading sci-fi since I was 8. There are more things in this world etc etc.
A Fire Upon The Deep belongs on any sci-fi cannon and is probably top 10.
