RIP.  I always thought his "Peace War" novels were his best works.  And
his "Rainbows End" book was neat.

I always remember encountering him first with a story about a mission on a
floating world to save an SF magazine's archives (but there's more going
on than the protag understands)..  I really liked that.

I liked the bobble stories well enough, but wasn't really motivated
to seek him out.
