David Brin's Science Fiction
Last updated August 20, 1998 The late 70's were a grim time for science fiction. All the old masters were either inactive (Asimov, Clark) or were not producing works of the greatest merit. However, things were going to change and the first sign of this was the publication of David Brin's book Startide Rising . This book was widely praised and deservedly so. And, it turned out, that Brin was not alone, but was joined by other writers who would eventually produce the great works in SF in these, the waning years of the 20th century. Since the publication of Startide Rising , Brin has gone on to write a number of great science fiction novels and short stories. The following are some short reviews of Brin's science fiction.
Startide Rising
This novel remains the finest SF novel of the 80s. Brin's key innovation was the discovery of a valid motive force for global civilization: namely the concept of Uplift. In brief, uplift is the moral duty that every race has to raise the intelligence of the creatures that they share their home planet with or that they meet in their journey through the stars. Uplift is a wonderful idea on a number of levels. First, although there is plenty of room for conflict, the total war as typified by World War II, is almost completely out of the question. Second, it allows Brin to tap into the

David Brin Streaker had been poking through a small gravitational tide pool, fifty thousand parsecs off the galactic plane, when she found the Fleet. Toshio sighed at the unfairness of it. One hundred and fifty dolphins, seven humans, and a chimpanzee; how could we have known what we found? Why did we have to find it? Fifty thousand ships, each the size of a moon. That's what they found. The dolphins had been thrilled by their discovery the biggest Derelict Fleet ever encountered, apparently incredibly ancient. Captain Creideiki had psicast to Earth for instructions. Dammit! Why did he call Earth? Couldn't the report have waited until we'd gone home? Why let the whole eavesdropping galaxy know you'd found a Sargasso of ancient hulks in the middle of nowhere? The Terragens Council had answered in code. "Go into hiding. Await orders. Do not reply." Creideiki obeyed, of course. But not before half the patron-lines in the galaxy had sent out their warships to find Streaker from Startide Rising

Some scientists are frantically searching for ways to prevent the disater. But others argue that the only way to save the Earth is to let it's human inhabitants become extinct: to let the evolutionary clock rewind and start all over again.

David Brin answers your questions
avid Brin captured the imaginations of science fiction readers with his series of books set in the Uplift universe. He also captured the top awards of science fiction both the Hugo and Nebula for the second book in the series, Startide Rising (1983), and the Hugo for the third book, The Uplift War (1987). Amazingly, Brin had only begun his career in 1980 with the release of the first Uplift book and his first published novel, Sundiver . Last year he published the latest chapter in the Uplift saga, Brightness Reef , and the book has once again put Brin in the running for the Hugo (Brin is one of five nominees in the Best Novel category for this year's Hugo award). Last week Brin sat down with Science Fiction Weekly to answer questions from our readers. He discussed topics ranging from where the "uplift" idea came from to the status of the movie based on his novel The Postman . Below is what he had to say:
1) How did the original idea of "uplift" occur to you? Was any particular person or event responsible?
I believe it is a very bad practice for a writer to get stuck in a particular "universe" over and over again. So I try not to write two "universe" books in a row. The Brightness Reef Trilogy was an exception.

Interview with the author about his motivations as a writer, the creative process, and going to Mars.Category Arts Literature Science Fiction Authors B Brin, David......David Brin – science fiction author. Writing is only about 75%skills you can learn. The remaining 25% –– as in all the arts
http://mmp.planetary.org/artis/brind/brind70.htm
David Brin science fiction author " Writing is only about 75% skills you can learn. The remaining 25% –– as in all the arts –– comes from something ineffable called talent. " How were you motivated to choose your particular field? Yes, the arts are great for the spirit... but every single human civilization has had the arts. They all had painting and music and dance and storytellers. And I realized that, gorgeous and inspiring as it all was, it just wasn't enough. Just having art didn't make people better. It made the pain endurable, but it did not solve problems. Then I saw it. Every civilization had professionals dedicated to dreams and wonder... but only one ever had an entire class of skilled workers dedicated to finding out what was real, and what was not. Scientists. In fact, though, we have risen for the first time to become a civilization that understands the difference between subjective and objective reality... what we perceive as true versus what really is. In times past, people seldom noted the difference. Today, most people will grudgingly admit –– "Well, I guess sometimes I can lie to myself." In other words, what I think is true may not be. Therefore, maybe I should listen to others sometimes. It's a start. It's the most important breakthrough in wisdom in centuries, and it came from science. That impressed the hell out of me, as a kid. For honesty and self-restraint seemed in short supply where I lived, while fervid imagination and drama flowed copiously, with everyone around me convinced that they were somehow victims of plots or persecutions. I was enthralled that some group out there was putting truth ahead of their own egos, willingly testing their ideas with experiments and accepting it graciously when those experiments proved them wrong. To me, it seemed that was what being a grownup ought to be about.
