awilderm23 's review for:
The Uplift War
by David Brin
3.5
love that the chims use goodall instead of god as in oh my goodall etc
‘There were times when Robert actually envied his ancestors, who had lived in the dark ignorance before the twenty first century and seemed to have spent most of their time making up weird, ornate explanations of the world to fill in the yawning gaps of their ignorance. Back then, one could believe anything at all.’
‘How ironic, Uthaclathling thought. Tymbrimi lives their lives awash in the everflowing music of life, and yet he did not personally identify with this small animal. It was one of hundreds of millions, after all. Why should he care about this particular individual? Yet Kault loved the creature. Without empathy sense, without any direct being-to-being link, he cherished it entirely in abstract. He loved what the little thing represented, its potential.’
