  <description><![CDATA[Tatja Grimm grew up among stone-age primitives, but she always knew that she was destined for something greater. When she starts working on the fabulous barge that circles her world publishing magazines, she begins to discover how very much she never knew. Exposed to new technology, to reading, to people who have experienced the wider world, she finds wonder in all of it. Rising through the ranks she proves far more special than anyone could have known. Before she is done, the world will know that her intelligence is matched only by her insatiable appetite for more, which makes conquering her world less an end than a beginning . . . . Unavailable for more than fifteen years, this exciting science fiction adventure is filled with colorful action and the unique ideas that have made Vinge one of the acknowledged masters of the field, and will delight his many fans.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Tatja Grimm grew up among stone-age primitives, but she always knew that she was destined for something greater. When she starts working on the fabulous barge that circles her world publishing magazines, she begins to discover how very much she never knew. Exposed to new technology, to reading, to people who have experienced the wider world, she finds wonder in all of it. Rising through the ranks she proves far more special than anyone could have known. Before she is done, the world will know that her intelligence is matched only by her insatiable appetite for more, which makes conquering her world less an end than a beginning . . . .Unavailable for more than fifteen years, this exciting science fiction adventure is filled with colorful action and the unique ideas that have made Vinge one of the acknowledged masters of the field, and will delight his many fans.]]>

But don't bother with this book, which is actually a collection of three stories in which a major character is a super-genius girl named Tatja Grimm, stuck on a backward-ass, low-metal planet on the verge of a renaissance (or maybe just a naissance).

    <![CDATA[Superhuman or not human at all, Tatja Grimm is the smartest person in the whole world...<br/>At first she doesn't understand this. After all, she was born a stone-age primitive whose tribe had never seen a knife or a wheel. But it wasn't the lack of amenities that bothered her about life with the aborigines; no, the problem was that they were stupid. That's why she made her trek to Ocean. Its dazzling medieval civilization with its astrolabes, its sail-powered vessels, its literacy - its sheer brute intelligence - thrilled her to the core of her being...for a while.<br/>Then disillusionment set in: the people of the sea were no smarter than those back home; they just knew more. But to Tatja Grimm, even an Einstein or a Leonardo would be no more than a clever-than-average monkey. At last she understands that to find someone worth talking to she must transform her world, so that she can use it to reach for the stars...]]>

When she starts working on the fabulous barge that circles her world publishing magazines, she begins to discover how very much she never knew. Exposed to new technology, to reading, to people who have experienced the wider world, she finds wonder in all of it. Rising through the ranks she proves far more special than anyone could have known. Before she is done, the world will know that her intelligence is matched only by her insatiable appetite for more, which makes conquering her world less an end than a beginning . . . .Unavailable for more than fifteen years, this exciting science fiction adventure is filled with colorful action and the unique ideas that have made Vinge one of the acknowledged masters of the field, and will delight his many fans.]]>
