Debbie Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Has anyone read any David Brin? He is one of my favourite science fiction authors. His 'Uplift' series of six books is really good, a real space opera! I also like his stand alone books, noteably 'Earth', which is set 50 years into the future and has some really interesting things to say about global warming and anti social behaviour.

Freewheeling Andy Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I read one or two things in the late 80s when I was getting through loads of SF stuff and did enjoy them. My memory of the stuff is pretty shot, though. Did he write The Postman, or was that someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 Yes, he did write The Postman, and the book is much better than the film Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freewheeling Andy Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I really enjoyed The Postman. As a late-teen I was always really into that post-apolcalyptic stuff. My obsession with it started with JG Ballard's Hello, America. I remember The Postman being excellent first time around, but a bit less impressive when I went back to it. I seem to think I read some other David Brin, but it was much more space-opera-ish, which wasn't my thing at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
