Existence
David Brin has a new work out with Existence. This is a broad novel exploring the world of
the relatively near future. As such it
almost has more to say as commentary of where we currently are as a society
then it does as a tale of where we might be in 100 years time. Brin has written this sort of near future
exploration before, I’m thinking of his novel Earth, and has done a better
job. This isn’t bad and if you’ve liked
his other books you’ll like this one. I
wouldn’t, however, start someone new to his work here.
