Existence
Chat with David Brin about his new book. Hosted by Siun.
Bestselling, award-winning futurist David Brin returns to globe-spanning, high concept SF with Existence.
Gerald Livingston is an orbital garbage collector. For a hundred years, people have been abandoning things in space, and someone has to clean it up. But there’s something spinning a little bit higher than he expects, something that isn’t on the decades’ old orbital maps. An hour after he grabs it and brings it in, rumors fill Earth’s infomesh about an “alien artifact.”
Thrown into the maelstrom of worldwide shared experience, the Artifact is a game-changer. A message in a bottle; an alien capsule that wants to communicate. The world reacts as humans always do: with fear and hope and selfishness and love and violence. And insatiable curiosity.
DAVID BRIN is a scientist, speaker, technical consultant and world-known author. His novels have been New York Times bestsellers, winning multiple Hugo, Nebula, and other awards. (Macmillan)

OT: Elliott would there be any way we could have a Book Salon on Richard Wolff’s latest book Democracy At Work ?
I’m sure it would be very popular and I for one would definitely attend. Having watched nearly every video he has done on the subject.
My bad….there is on. ON April 7.
Never mind…:-)
see how responsive we are ;)
