David Brin's Uplift novels are among the most thrilling, highly regarded works of contemporary science fiction. Beginning with Sundiver, Brin provides an intriguing exploration of humanity's future in the universe.

For nearly a billion years, every known sentient species in the universe has been the result of genetic and cultural guidance - or "uplifting" - by a previously uplifted patron race. Then humans are discovered. Having already uplifted chimps and dolphins, humanity clearly qualifies as an intelligent species, but did they actually evolve their own intelligence, or did some mysterious patron race begin the process, then suddenly abandon Earth? The answer to this mystery might be as close as our own sun, but it will take a daring dive into its fiery interior to know for sure.

Sundiver begins David Brin's thoughtful, exhilarating exploration of a future filled with an imaginative array of strange alien races, dazzling scientific achievements, and age-old enigmas.

...ist hier richtig.
Geschrieben in den 80ern, hört sich die Story an, als stamme sie aus den frühen 50ern.
Dutzende Arten Allens, Technologie, die mehr auf Phantasie als Wissenschaft beruht. Von SciFi aus den 80ern erwartet man anderes. Wenn man diese Erwartung über Bord wirft, dann bekommt man eine unterhaltsame Story mit ein paar überraschenden Wendungen und leider auch ein paar langatmigen Passagen. Eben typische 50er Jahre Space Opera.

I was first introduced to the universe of uplift by David Brynn by listening to the follow-up to this book started rising. I enjoyed that one a lot and hence I decided to start with the first book which is this one. it was absolutely pleasant listening experience and I'm going to continue with the third part of the series. very much looking forward to it. the spoken performance is soothing and nice suited well for a bedtime mode as well as commuting to work. yes, overall very nice

a twisted and thoroughly pleasant sundive

Had to DNF. The descriptions of women were so outdated and icky. Did not enjoy.
