The only Vinge I’ve read is “A Fire Upon The Deep” and I found it so so. Has anybody read “Rainbow’s End”?

I read it a few months ago. I rate it as O.K., somewhat disappointing, considering what I've heard.

It's a story of an unfolding conspiracy going on as the world is at the cusp of the birthing of the singularity, or super-artificial intelligence. The characters and plot line in the book are hokey and juvenile in my opinion.

I really enjoyed Charles Stross’s “Accelerando” on the same topic.
