Book description
Our continued existence was never a given.
We've always wanted to know our destiny. But when the end seems in
sight, how will the world react?
An alien artefact plucked from Earth's orbit throws the world into
chaos with both warning and a promise. For the prophet who dreams of
new world order, survival means putting an end to democracy. For the
movie mogul with a talent for spinning facts, the public doesn't know
what's best for them. And for the reporter determined to discover the
truth, the world needs to know what's at stake.
All are determined to hold off Armageddon.
All will play their part in what's to come.

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 David Brin is the acclaimed Hugo and Nebula
award-winning author of ten novels and two collections of short stories.
He has a doctorate in astrophysics, and has been a consultant to NASA
and a graduate-level physics professor. He lives in California.
