The Zones of Thought series by Vernor Vinge, and A Deepness in the Sky in particular.

If you check the series out, and I highly recommend you do, read it in order. Which would mean starting with A Fire Upon the Deep, which is excellent.

Thanks for the rec, put it on my tbr. I have only read True Names by VV.
True Names is excellent! A Fire Upon the Deep is also one of my favourite sci fi novels.
Thanks, added to my list. The afterword by Minsky made True Names even more memorable.
