David Brin: What’s Important Isn’t Me. And It Isn’t You. It’s Us!
David Brin warned us. In 1989.
Global warming. Cyberwarfare. The World Wide Web, named in a novel before most people had ever heard of it.
I recorded this conversation with him 14 years ago. Astrophysicist. Hugo and Nebula winner. The mind behind the Uplift novels and Existence.
We dug into the most powerful form of science fiction. Not the prophecy that comes true. The prophecy that prevents itself. Orwell’s 1984 is the classic case. The warning so loud the future course-corrects.
We also went straight at #transparency. His book asks a question that hits harder now than it did then: will technology force us to choose between #privacy and freedom? Fourteen years on, with AI watching everything, that question is no longer hypothetical.
And then there is the line from David that I have never been able to shake.

Laser ‘origami’ could help astronauts build structures on the moon
University of Florida researchers are exploring how lasers could help astronauts build structures on the moon using materials already available there, including lunar soil transformed into glass. The work, led by Victoria M. Miller, Ph.D., an associate professor in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering and researcher with the UF Astraeus Space Institute, recently completed a research phase focused on laser forming, a manufacturing process that bends materials without physical contact.
The team’s latest paper, published in Lasers in Manufacturing and Materials Processing, examined how different atmospheric conditions affect laser bending, an important question for future manufacturing in the vacuum of space. The long-term applications extend beyond space exploration and could also support flexible manufacturing efforts on Earth.
“It is also for Earth applications. We’re focused on flexible manufacturing for defense applications,” said Miller, who works in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
How to create distinguishable states for quantum systems
Researchers around the world are racing to develop new quantum-based systems for sensing, communication, computing, and control that have the promise of outperforming traditional systems. Creating stable, measurable, distinguishable quantum states, which would be the heart of any such system, is a daunting task.
Quantum states possess unique properties that can be exploited for developing novel information processing systems. Two key properties, stability and distinguishability, are hard to achieve, however. Extracting information from a quantum system depends on the distinguishability of quantum states, an intrinsic property associated with a property known as orthogonality. Nevertheless, no two Gaussian states (a widely studied class of quantum states) are orthogonal, and this yields an unavoidable error when attempting to distinguish them.
In addition, present quantum devices tend to remain stable only for a fraction of a second, and require complex protocols to distinguish states. Now, researchers at MIT and the University of Ferrara have found a new approach for creating easily distinguishable states that could help to enable the development of these new quantum-based devices.
