Book Reviews of Earth
Book Review: "Earth" is a book well worth reading.
Summary: 4 Stars
David Brin's effort in "Earth" is one that will frustrate many of his fans from the realm of hardcore sci-fi. The book is really a fantasy well floured in sound science and wrapped around a very overt environmentalist message. It is certain that both "greens" and their opposition will completely miss some of the hardheaded evolutionary conlusions drawn by Brin. At the same time, Brin is also taking some interesting looks at present day trends that probably are lost on readers too distracted by the environmentalist message. Among others, trends Brin examines include effects of the emerging "net-culture" and the potential of the use of video recording devices by citizens beyond Rodney King. There is also, implicit in the climactic battle, an intriguing allusion to eastern philosophy. I recommend it
