" Singularity's Ring is a distinctive vision of a post-singularity future, where group minds and human singletons struggle to control the sinister consequences of a failed transcendence. Melko gives us an absorbing tour of a world where humanity isn't what it used to be. He's got a distinctive voice that shows a lot of promise." -Charles Stross "Bursts forth like a new universe exploding into being; a major book that happens to also be the debut novel of a stellar new talent." -Robert J. Sawyer "Accessible and engaging post-singularity fiction, driven by engaging characters and fabulous world building. Paul Melko may be our next Vernor Vinge or Bruce Sterling…engaging and tough to put down." -Brenda Cooper, co-author of Building Harlequin's Moon, " Singularity's Ring is a distinctive vision of a post-singularity future, where group minds and human singletons struggle to control the sinister consequences of a failed transcendence.
