The Profile

American science fiction author, best known for the Uplift series and for novels that explore big scientific and social ideas.

A reflective, partly critical review of David Brin's 1984 novel The Practice Effect. The reviewer praises the central conceit—objects improving with use—and explores themes of production, consumerism and social class. Writing is fluent, but the reviewer found parts of the fairy-tale characterization and pacing boring.
