The other day I posted a short story by David Brin, about near-future communications. Now I'm posting a link to one by Vernor Vinge.
In my opinion Vinge generally has 1.7 to 6.3 times the clue that Brin has. Check it out.

"Synthetic Serendipity"

This was the first thing I read when my copy of IEEE Spectrum
arrived in the mail. The pictures were a lot bigger and easier to
look at in the print version. A few years ago they started
selling the magazine on newsstands; this is probably an attempt
to sell more copies (not that there is anything wrong with that).
