==Personal life==
Brin has [[Polish Jew]]ish ancestry, from the area around [[Konin]]. His grandfather was drafted into the Russian army and fought in the [[Russo-Japanese War]] of 1904–1905.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.slawcio.com/david.html |title=DAVID BRIN REVEALED: A two-year-long interview with Slawek Wojtowicz |website=www.slawcio.com |year=2002 |first=Slawek |last=Wojtowicz |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111002013604/http://www.slawcio.com/david.html |archive-date=2 October 2011}}</ref>

== Works ==
Most of Brin's fiction is categorized as [[hard science fiction]], in that they apply some degree of plausible scientific or technological change as important plot elements. About half of Brin's works are in his [[Uplift Universe]]. These have twice won the [[Hugo Award for Best Novel]].

Much of Brin's work outside the Uplift series focuses on technology's effects on human society.<ref>{{cite web|date=March 31, 2016|title=David Brin on future societies of transparency and freedom|url=http://futurethinkers.org/david-brin-future-societies-transparency/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107023446/http://futurethinkers.org/david-brin-future-societies-transparency/|archive-date=November 7, 2017|publisher=Future Thinkers}}</ref>
