Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Earthclan (The Uplift Saga #2-3)

David Brin's Uplift Universe portrays humanity's desperate struggle for survival in a dangerous universe... and how we may cope by taking wise partners with us on this journey. Artificial intelligence is one way that we may add diversity to our civilization. But in this series we've done it by giving a boost in intelligence to some of our fellow creatures on Planet Earth. Dolphins and apes -- especially -- seem trapped under a "glass ceiling" that limits their ability to speak, to argue, to create, to use tools, to invent and take part in Terran culture. But what if we, the first species on Earth to cross the wide gulf of sapience, were to turn around and offer a hand to others? To pass on the gift (that sometimes threatens to be a curse) of fully empowered mind?

This omnibus volume includes Startide Rising and The Uplift War. (Does not include Sundiver)

Evaluation Out Of Books Earthclan (The Uplift Saga #2-3)

What's not to love? Two Nebula winners in the same Omnibus volume (the less good Sundiver is not included).I won't get into plot points here. Rather, I will point out that nobody has ever done diverse aliens as well as Brin in these to books. They are astonishing. They are wildly diverse. They are intriguing. They are baffling. Most importantly, they are a celebration of the wonderful diversity of life. I come to this as a Biology professor, and I think finally somebody gets it right: life could

sooo hard to get into....

Contains the novels Startide rising and the Uplift War. Humanity discovers that it is not alone but must struggle to meet the requirements of membership into the stellar community of worlds and races.

This is another book which I read sometime in the past few years and put on the shelf, and then recently I found myself mentioning details from it, so I decided to read it again.There are a lot of things about Brin's universe that feel strange to me. It is apparently filled with intelligent aliens in a massive interconnected society held together by a few "institutes", such as the "Institute for Civilized Warfare", which function to determine and enforce the rules for interspecies interactions.

-I wanted to like this book more than I did. I was very annoyed by the haiku's used by the dolphins, and other things about the book I found a bit annoying. I did like the premise but I won't be reading this book again.

David Brin is a scientist, speaker, and world-known author. His novels have been New York Times Bestsellers, winning multiple Hugo, Nebula and other awards. At least a dozen have been translated into more than twenty languages. Existence, his latest novel, offers an unusual scenario for first contact. His ecological thriller, Earth, foreshadowed global warming, cyberwarfare and near-future trendsTwo Hugo Winners in one book!I am going through the Legendary era of "1980's Hard SciFi". This is completely out of my comfort zone, as the 1950's in my favorite decade of SciFi literature, and I do not consider myself technical enough to be fully able to appreciate Hard-Scifi. I had to consult the Wiki several times to understand the nuances and overall-direction the novel was taking me.Three-stars. This book was more a retelling of Startide Rising. The Gubru were my favorite characters. And

My copy from SFBC doesn't seem to contain Sundiver
