A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge
5.0

I love this book and re-read it every few years. For those who don't know, Vernor Vinge is a well known computer scientist who did some ground-breaking thinking about the future of the Net decades ago. This book is a fast-paced, far far future galactic adventure. It asks what a universe with massive intelligences would look like to the mere mortals left behind, and answers this in remarkable ways.
