Vinge, Vernor: RAINBOWS END

ZWorld-famous poet Robert Gu missed twenty years of progress while he nearly died from Alzheimer´s. Now, when he awakens in San Diego, in the year 2025, with his mind and health restored, reality´s shock. Books are just about gone. Computers are old news, replaced by "smart" contact lenses that connect him to the Internet via his clothes and wireless nodes just about everywhere. Buildings look low-rent - onless you´re wearing. Then, they look like whatever you want. Even hi s different. He´s seventy-five, but his treatment has made him look almoust like a teen. And that´s just the tip of the iceberg in the new Digital Age.
