(2.9) | None | "David Brin, Hugo award-winning author of The Uplift War, presents a collection of short stories and essays by other science fiction luminaries.

Or have we become a global society of thousands of Little Brothers--watching, judging, and reporting on one another? Partnering with the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination, and inspired by Brin's nonfiction book The Transparent Society, noted author and futurist David Brin and scholar Stephen Potts have compiled essays and short stories from writers such as Robert J. Sawyer, James Morrow, William Gibson, Damon Knight, Jack McDevitt, and many others to examine the benefits and pitfalls of technologic transparency in all its permutations."--… (more) |
