A review by rossbm
Sundiver by David Brin
3.0
(read as ebook)
I’ve been meaning to read David Brin’s Uplift Saga for a while now, but what finally pushed me to read the first book was that someone mentioned that the Uplift Saga is probably the best depiction of humanity’s relations with intelligent beings created by man and could serve as a guide to relations between humanity and AI in the not too distant future.
Sundiver is a decent sci-fi book. I would describe it as a romp and mystery. It’s pretty cheesy at times though and the ideas aren’t too compelling. Apparently the second book in the series is much better, so I will give it a try.
