Synopsis :

Book by Brin David

Revue de presse: Cleverly argued and uncomfortably plausible (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH )

Brin tackles a plethora of cutting-edge concepts... with the skill of a visionary futurologist ... [conveying] the depth and breadth of his startling future. Existence is Brin's first novel in 10 years, and it's been well worth the wait (GUARDIAN )

Brin's first novel in a decade is cause for celebration . . . Existence is bursting with ideas, including near-future tech, first contact with aliens, and the exploration of what it means to be human (io9.com )

Brin's thoughtful, multilayered story explores a first contact scenario where every twist reveals greater peril . . . His longtime fans will especially appreciate that this story could be read as a prequel to 1983's Startide Rising, while those not familiar with his work will find it an impressive introduction to one of SF's major talents (Publishers Weekly )

In Existence, David Brin takes on one of the fundamental themes in science fiction - and what is also one of the fundamental questions humanity faces in this century. Since Brin is both a great storyteller and one of the most imaginative writers around, Existence is not to be missed (Vernor Vinge )

Take a world soaked in near-future strangeness and complexity . . . Add a beautiful alien artifact that turns out to be the spearpoint of a very dangerous, very ancient invasion . . . Hotwire with wisdom and wonder . . . Existence is as urgent and as relevant as anything by Stross or Doctorow, but with the cosmic vision of Bear or Benford. Brin is back --Stephen Baxter
