Marooned in Realtime by Vernor Vinge

What a great Whodunnit! The ending didn't *quite* do it for me, but maybe that's because I demand unsubtle resolution from every book except Infinite Jest.
Ok, good manners require a SPOILER tag here:
I'm pretty sure that Our Hero's wife ascended the Godhead or whatever Singularity-speak is appropriate, and is involved periodically through the story, at the very least in the form of the final dream sequence. But I am also not great at piecing together implicit stuff like that in books.
So really I have no idea what really happened, but I had a helluva time getting to this point of fuzzy satisfaction.
