SYNOPSIS: David Brin's Uplift Universe portrays humanity's desperate struggle for survival in a dangerous universe...and how we may cope by taking wise partners with us on this journey. Artificial intelligence is one way that we may add diversity to our civilization. But in this series we've done it by giving a boost in intelligence to some of our fellow creatures on Planet Earth. Dolphins and apes -- especially -- seem trapped under a "glass ceiling" that limits their ability to speak, to argue, to create, to use tools, to invent and take part in Terran culture. But what if we, the first species on Earth to cross the wide gulf of sapience, were to turn around and offer a hand to others? To pass on the gift (that sometimes threatens to be a curse) of fully empowered mind? This omnibus volume includes Startide Rising and The Uplift War. (Does not include Sundiver) **Smoke Free Home**
