Description



Book Synopsis



Collected literary and film criticism and more--now revised and updated with new material--from an award-winning, bestselling author and scientist.

Hugo, Locus, and Nebula Award-winning author David Brin has taken readers on exciting adventures in his fiction with his Uplift universe and novels like The Postman. Now he invites them on a remarkable journey into the mind of one of America's greatest science fiction writers: himself.

Through Stranger Eyes collects forty-seven of Brin's essays, articles, critiques, commentaries, and appreciations covering an array of topics in the worlds of fiction, nonfiction, and film. Brin shares his thoughts on books like J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and Anne McCaffrey's Dragonrider series. He also discusses movies like The Matrix, George Lucas's Star Wars saga, and TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He sings the praises of familiar authors like Isaac Asimov, Jack Williamson, and Arthur C. Clarke, as well as unfamiliar works like popular science books that touch on his own ideas as an astrophysicist. He even expounds on the storytelling process and the craft of writing.

Scintillating and incisive, Through Stranger Eyes is an opinionated free-for-all that is sure to enlighten and entertain, possibly infuriate, or make you laugh. This is the world as David Brin sees it.
