Biographical timeline Fiction His Uplift series (two trilogies) are well recognised and deal with the concept of a huge galactic civilization responsible for "uplifting" all known intelligent forms of oxygen breathing life. Humanity within the context of these novels represents an anomaly since there is no known "patron" species responsible for their uplift and hence they lack a basic understanding and appreciation of the subtleties of galactic culture. The Uplift Series Other well-known works by David Brin include his book set in Asimov's Foundation Universe: and his stand alone novels: Brin wrote the storyline for Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future. Brin also wrote a number of critical articles on Star Wars and George Lucas for the website salon.com here. Brin focused on what he called an "agenda" on the part of Lucas, describing how he believed the basis of the Star Wars universe was profoundly anti-democratic.
