David Brin - Uplifting Existence - a podcast by Center for Inquiry

Host: Chris Mooney

It's rare that I can say about a guest that, I read his books when I was a kid.

But David Brin is just such a guest. He's the celebrated science fiction author of the Uplift novels, The Postman, and many other books—most recently, Existence. I read the Uplift books when I was tearing through sci-fi as a teenager.

But on top of that, Brin is also a trained scientist and public policy commentator. And in his commentary, as in his novels, he's concerned with the same themes that motivate this show: How can we protect science from the forces that want to do it in? And, can people really be rational?

So, we're excited to have him on the show.
