- David Brin is an American Science Fiction writer, creator of the Uplift universe. He is also the author of a highly amusing (and packed end to end with puns and references) novel called The Practice Effect, and wrote the storyline to Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future. Brin gained a measure of notoriety among Star Wars fans for printing a blisteringly critical series of essays regarding that universe's philosophies and messages. These were later compiled into a book with Matt Stover called Star Wars On Trial.
- Brin is a noted author, publishing his first novel, Sundiver in 1980 and winning the Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Awards for his second novel, Startide Rising. Both of these novels were the basis of his Uplift series. One of his best known novels is The Postman, which was adapted into a film by Kevin Costner in the late 1990s. Brin also wrote the final novel in the Foundation trilogy inspired by Isaac Asimov's work, Foundation's Triumph. Greg Bear also contributed to that series. Michael A. Martin interviewed Brin for Star Trek Monthly issue 85 in 2001 discussing "Forgiveness".
