Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Note: This session will take place on June 18 at 3pm Eastern Daylight Time.
Seat 3 (out of 4) in a one-hour virtual author kaffeeklatsch via Zoom with award-winning author David Brin.
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. At least a dozen have been translated into more than twenty languages. His 1989 ecological thriller, Earth, foreshadowed global warming, cyberwarfare and near-future trends such as the World Wide Web. His 2012 novel Existence extends this type of daring, near future extrapolation by exploring bio-engineering, intelligence and how to maintain an open-creative civilization.
A 1998 movie, directed by Kevin Costner, was loosely based on The Postman. His non-fiction book — The Transparent Society: Will Technology Force Us to Choose Between Freedom and Privacy? — deals with secrecy in the modern world. It won the Freedom of Speech Prize from the American Library Association.
