Glen David Brin (born October 6 ) is a well known American author of science fiction . He is the winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards . He lives in Southern California and has been both a NASA consultant and a physics professor. Biographical timeline 6 October - born in Glendale, California - received Bachelor of Science in astronomy from California Institute of Technology - received Master of Science in applied physics from University of California, San Diego - received Doctor of Philosophy in space science from University of California, San Diego Work His Uplift series and trilogy are well recognised and deal with the concept of a huge galactic civilization responsible for "uplifting" all known intelligent forms of oxygen breathing life. Humanity within the context of these novels represents an anomaly since there is no known "patron" species responsible for their uplift and hence they lack a basic understanding and appreciation of the subtleties of galactic culture. The Uplift Series Sundiver Startide Rising The Uplift War The New Uplift Trilogy: Brightness Reef Infinity's Shore Heaven's Reach ISBN 0553574736 There is also an Uplift supplement for the roleplaying game GURPS allowing players to play out adventures in the universe detailed in these novels. This supplement was not written by David Brin, but was based solely on his works.

32. HotSeat Transcript - David Brin david brin says we must be willing to give up some of our privacy in return for real Intro david brin, author of the sciencefiction novels Star Tide Rising http://hotwired.lycos.com/packet/hotseat/97/22/transcript4a.html

6 June 1997 The Transparent Society David Brin says we must be willing to give up some of our privacy in return for real freedom Intro: David Brin, author of the science-fiction novels Star Tide Rising and The Postman, is an astrophysicist and commentator on popular-science issues. On this week's HotSeat, Brin joins host John McChesney to discuss the impact of privacy laws on technology and society. [Start audio ...] John McChesney: Our topic this week is, once again, privacy on the Web. Next week the Federal Trade Commission will have a week-long public workshop on the subject of privacy, so it seems an appropriate time to revisit that subject. Our guest this week is author David Brin. Brin has a doctorate in astrophysics, but he's best known for writing a dozen science-fiction novels, among them The Postman, which will appear soon as a movie, and Star Tide Rising. Brin is at work on his first nonfiction book, called The Transparent Society. That book is about privacy. Brin takes a somewhat contrarian position on privacy. He says that sometimes, privacy has to take a back seat to accountability. Brin says privacy as we've known it is dead. And he says that for any loss of privacy, though, we should demand increased transparency. He asks: Can we stand to live our lives exposed to scrutiny, our secrets laid out in the open, if in return we get flashlights of our own that we can shine on the arrogant and strong? John McChesney: How would you define privacy?

33. David Brin's Official Web Site david brin s official web site, where I ve posted sample chapters from my novels, some of my favorite short stories and nonfiction articles (about the future http://www.davidbrin.com/

To all of you out there who are visiting this site because you heard me speak recently, here are a few quick links to topics that may have caught your interest. (You can get to the same places by browsing through the Menus above.) Telephony Magazine featured a shortened version of my hotly-discussed suggestion that technology instead of leading us toward domination by Big Brother may embolden and empower a new kind of citizenship. The online edition also feature an in-depth interview For people interested in the topic of possible contact with alien life , click directly to a list of related articles. Also posted several short stories dealing with the same topic. Some are 'serious'... others may make you laugh. Find out more about how both safety and freedom may be rescued by unexpected saviors private citizens. Or go find out more about openness and transparency For those of you who already own The Transparent Society , drop by pages 206-209. Kind of weird and relevant to our times. This is one time I wish I weren't right. Search Now: Welcome to the David Brin Site I still do science. But this wild/wonderful civilization seems more interested in my 'out-of-the-box' explorations about the future. (Who am I to argue with civilization?)

By David Brin June 15, 1999 "But there's probably no better form of government than a good despot." George Lucas (New York Times interview, March 1999) Well, I boycotted "Episode I: The Phantom Menace" for an entire week. Why? What's to boycott? Isn't "Star Wars" good old fashioned sci-fi? Harmless fun? Some people call it "eye candy" a chance to drop back into childhood and punt your adult cares away for two hours, dwelling in a lavish universe where good and evil are vividly drawn, without all the inconvenient counterpoint distinctions that clutter daily life. Got a problem? Cleave it with a light saber! Wouldn't you love just once in your life to dive a fast little ship into your worst enemy's stronghold and set off a chain reaction, blowing up the whole megillah from within its rotten core while you streak away to safety at the speed of light? (It's such a nifty notion that it happens in three out of four "Star Wars" flicks.)

Photos by Christopher Gardner Science-fiction writer David Brin worries about the future of privacy and advocates more, not less, openness as a solution By Zack Stentz E ACH TIME bank customers withdraw money or check an account balance at an Automatic Teller Machine, their photographs are taken and stored in a computer. This goes on in the name of preventing robberies, something few would argue with. But what about the cameras down at the department store, keeping an eye on potential shoplifters at the same time they let unscrupulous security personnel ogle folks trying on swimsuits in dressing rooms? A reasonable compromise between security and privacy? Then try this near-future scenario on for size: a security camera on every lamppost, watching over all of society, whether running traffic lights, scratching rear ends or cheating on spouses, along with a swarm of tiny, undetectable robot drones flitting through the air, peeking over walls and into darkened windows with enhanced infrared vision. Like it or not, this Argus-like world of a million unblinking eyes is on its way, according to author
