Melko, Paul. SINGULARITY'S RING. New York: Tor, [2008]. Octavo, boards. First edition. A presentation copy inscribed by Melko to his editor David G. Hartwell on the title page: "To David Hartwell / Paul Melko / 5-23-09." In Melko's first novel "the Singularity has occurred, as a consequence of which most of Earth's population has undergone Transcendence and become forms of energy; the task facing the five teenagers –- melded together into a gestalt-like quincunx (or "pod") that as a whole comprises a Computer entity or AI known as Apollo Papadopulos –- is to become sufficiently competent to captain a Starship: a sequel may carry the problem-solvers into larger spaces. The novel won a Locus Award for best first novel." - SFE (online). A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#158499).
