Hi all, I'm Ibrahim Underwood, and I live in Singapore (though originally from Ipswich/Brisbane, Australia). I'm a history teacher in a public secondary school (modern world history, and urr... very [sort of] PC-ish Singaporean history). Aside from my singularity of a profession, i try ;) to read a fair bit of history, philosophy, hard SF and lovecraftian horror. I'm currently also trying to find time to prepare for a masters degree on muslim minoritisation (i think).
My first encounter with Brin was Startide Rising, and all those talking monkeys and dolphins. My second was his clever, and slightly humorous comparisons of Star Wars and Star Trek (as part of a dismal paper during my brief foray into English Lit at uni).
