Vernor Vinge is an award winning author, whose latest book Rainbows End is full of what we now call spimes: smart networked sensors, that fill the world with intelligent chatter that the protagonists of the book constantly rely on. (You can also download a full, free electronic version of the book.)
We had the pleasure of a nice conversation with Vernor Vinge in San Diego about spimes, OpenSpime, and what he thought about the impact of the wider diffusion of these technologies on our society:
OpenSpime is a project of WideTag, Inc., a technology infrastructure company providing innovative solutions for an Open Internet of Things. Our open source technology empowers individuals, corporations, and governments to better understand their environment, through the use of a new generation of location-aware sensor networks.
