Hi,

I am looking to find any sci-fi based on the singularity that I might have missed. I have read all of the Vernor Vinge, Charles Stross books. Is there any place that might list that type of book in a comprehensive manner?

thanks,
Scott

Hello Scott,

Welcome to WWEnd!  That's a great question.  There are several ways you can find books in a particular sub-genre on WWEnd:

  • Go to the search page by clicking the "Advanced Search" link to the right of the search box in the header.  Once there select "Singularity" in the sub-genre drop down list and click submit.
  • Go to "SF/F Sub-Genres" in the Resources section, find "Singularity" in the list and click the link under the definition.
  • Go to a novel page like Singularity Sky that is in the sub-genre you're looking for and click the "Singularity" link in the list of sub-genre tags associated with that book.

All of these methods will yeild the same list of books, that have been tagged as part of that sub-genre, in a search results page.

A note about sub-genre tags on WWEnd:

All the sub-genre tags on WWEnd are member generated.  When you tag a book using BookTrackr you can select up to 3 different sub-genres that you feel best fit the book in question.  You can select Singularity and Space Opera for a book that has elements of both.  The top 3 tags selected by all members are used as the basis for our sub-genre search.

This method helps ensure that we get accurate tags based on the majority view.  Of course if only one person has tagged a book, and has tagged it incorrectly, that is what will appear for that book.  So some tags can be a bit off but will be corrected with time and more member input.

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Dave
