A Fire Upon the Deep won the Hugo Award in 1993, sharing it with Doomsday Book by Connie Willis.Besides the normal print book editions, the novel was also included on a CD-ROM sold by ClariNet Communications along with the other nominees for the 1993 Hugo awards. The CD-ROM edition included numerous annotations by Vinge on his thoughts and intentions about different parts of the book, and was later released as a standalone e-book.
Plein de bonnes choses dans ce livre : deux races extraterrestres fascinantes, une société galactique très originale, reliée par un réseau qui nous rappelle que l'auteur est un informaticien, une intrigue assez captivante même si assez convenue. Une très belle découverte !
