------------------------------- You're probably right. I seem to remember reading about that, a long time ago, but I sure don't remember where. This thread got me thinking last night. If you had the funding and the rights, which Brin book would you make into a movie? And would make it a studio release or a SciFi Channel mini-series? My choice would be "The Uplift War." (Though I could be talked into doing his collaboration with Gregory Benford "The Heart of the Comet.")
