| Notes/Review |
| This is a big book full of big ideas, though it's not strong on characters. It is set in the near future, beginning just a couple of decades from now. Brin makes an interesting guess at how some technologies will have progressed by then. I have to say Brin's take on first contact is unique, at least in my rather limited reading. |
