Albert Morris is a private investigator. Actually, he's lots of PIs. For in his world each person can be in many places at once, by making cheap disposable, kiln-baked clay copies! It's the world of dittos. It's our world-to-come. Welcome to the future. In a business where information is the currency, Albert's dittos are loaded. And with a number of cases on the go at once, it is crucial that Albert doesn't lose track of his selves.
But that's exactly what happens when Albert is drawn into a plot that could throw this delicately balanced world into chaos. In Kiln People, award-winning SF author David Brin has imagined a new future for mankind, as thrilling as it is terrifying... as fun as it is tense. Be warned: it may be our tomorrow.

Biographie de David Brin

David Brin is a scientist, public speaker and world-known author. His novels have been New York Times Bestsellers, winning multiple Hugo, Nebula and other awards. At least a dozen have been translated into more than twenty languages. Novels include bold and prophetic explorations of our near future, including The Postman, Earth and Existence. His ecological thriller, Earth, foreshadowed global warming, cyberwarfare and near-future trends such as the World Wide Web.
A movie, directed by Kevin Costner, was loosely based on his post-apocalyptic novel, The Postman. David's novel Kiln People has been called a book of ideas disguised as a fast-moving and fun noir detective story, set in a future when new technology enables people to physically be in more than two places at once. A hardcover graphic novel The Life Eaters explored alternate outcomes to World War II, winning nominations and high praise.
David's science fictional Uplift Universe explores a future when humans genetically engineer animals to join our civilization.
