Brin's best known novel is "The Postman" which Kevin Costner managed to make into a mediocre movie. Brin also wrote a nice series called "Uplift" which has some intriguing themes in it.

The last few books were pretty tough going at times, though.

Breakfast and incest....

Why do so many science fiction writers have goofy hair?

Allegedly I am someone whom I have never heard of (which, frankly, doesn't bode well for me succeeding at anything in a significant way).
