Scientist/Futurist David Brin

David Brin

David Brin is a scientist, inventor and NY Times bestselling author. With books translated into twenty-five languages, he has won multiple Hugo, Nebula and other awards. A film directed by Kevin Costner was based on David’s novel The Postman. Other works have been optioned by Paramount and Warner Bros. One of them – “Kiln People” – has been called a book of ideas disguised as a fast-moving and fun noir detective story, set in a vividly original future, while a hardcover graphic novel – “The Life Eaters”- explored alternate outcomes to World War II. David’s science fictional Uplift Universe explores a future when humans genetically engineer higher animals, like dolphins, to speak.

As a “scientist/futurist” David Brin is seen frequently on shows like THE ARCHITECHS, UNIVERSE and LIFE AFTER PEOPLE (the most popular show ever, on the History Channel)
