Marooned in Realtime is a science fiction novel by Vernor Vinge, first published in 1986. It is a sequel to The Peace War and The Ungoverned, with characters returning from both.The major initial technology change is the invention of the Bobble, a projected sphere that freezes time within its volume. For the duration of the sphere's existence (which is set at its creation and cannot be altered), nothing can damage it or affect its contents. The technology has a range of uses, from short-term bobbles used for storage or crash protection, to longer-term bobbles with applications like deep space exploration — not to mention the people who, for a variety of reasons, choose to have themselves bobbled so that they can see what the world will be like decades or centuries down the line.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })What the world is like, beyond a certain point, is — deserted. The entire human race, apart from that portion of it that was bobbled at the time, has completely vanished, leaving no clear evidence of why. (Theories include, but are not limited to, a big final war, hostile aliens, and/or The Singularity.) Those who come out of stasis are slowly rounded up and brought to a meeting point further down the timeline, hoping to accumulate enough people and technology to reboot civilization and prevent the extinction of humanity's remnant.During one move a leader of the colony is stranded outside stasis, starting a murder/mystery investigation to discover who did it and why. | |

Yelena's choice of punishment for this crime is, incredibly, even worse; she does the same to Juan Chanson, except she left him with a medical auton. He was free to live as long as he wished. It thus takes him ten thousand years to die of madness. | |

Action Bomb: The "grenade beetles" that have evolved after human civilization disappeared. Distinctive slow-moving herbivore/scavenger insects that no local predator would dare to bother — they're too slow to keep a human from picking one up and shaking it — because none are stupid enough to bother a hand-sized bug capable of exploding like a hand grenade when annoyed enough. One cripples Marta's foot a few years into her marooning — and Wil is able to use them to drive off a pack of near-dogs stalking him and Della when they are stranded during the climactic battle. | |
