Do you know about the book called “Startide Rising”? It was written by an American author named David Brin.

In this book, there is a really amazing spaceship called the “Earthship Streaker”. The crew of this spaceship goes on all kinds of exciting adventures!

Hugo Nebula Locus Award Triple Crown Op.

Startide Rising is a 1983 science fiction novel by American writer David Brin, the second book of six set in his Uplift Universe (preceded by Sundiver and followed by The Uplift War). It earned both Hugo and Nebula Awards for Best Novel in 1984. It was revised by the author in 1993 to correct errors and omissions from the original edition.

An early work by David Brin, it was extremely well reviewed when it was published, has remained popular, and served as the seed for three more novels which revolved around the crew of the Earthship Streaker (the Uplift Storm Trilogy).

Expanding the Pontificate:

You know what’s really special about this book? It won two very famous awards called the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award! This means that a lot of people thought it was an amazing story.

At first, the book was called “The Tides of Kithrup”, but the author later changed the name to “Startide Rising”. Some early copies of the book still have the old title, and those have become very special collector’s items.

This book is one of David Brin’s most popular works. He even wrote some more books that continue the adventures of the Earthship Streaker crew!

Doesn’t a story about an amazing spaceship and winning big awards sound really interesting? I think kids would really enjoy reading this book. Why don’t you give it a try?

The Fountains of Paradise

to pontificate

Imagine a really, really tall tower that stretches all the way up to space! That’s what the main character, Vannevar, wants to build. This special tower would allow people to travel to space without having to use rockets. Isn’t that amazing?

But building such a tall tower is not easy. Vannevar and his team have to find the perfect spot to put it, and they also have to convince everyone that it’s a good idea. There’s a problem though – the tower is supposed to be built on top of a sacred Buddhist temple! The monks in charge of the temple don’t want to let Vannevar build his tower there.

　Hugo Nebula Locus Award Triple Crown Op.

The Fountains of Paradise is a 1979 science fiction novel by British writer Arthur C. Clarke. Set in the 22nd century, it describes the construction of a space elevator. This “orbital tower” is a giant structure rising from the ground and linking with a satellite in geostationary orbit at the height of approximately 36,000 kilometres (approx. 22,300 miles). Such a structure would be used to raise payloads to orbit without the expense of using rockets. The novel won both the Hugo^[1] and Nebula^[2] Awards for Best Novel.

Expanding the Pontificate:

While Vannevar is dealing with these challenges, the story also shows us two other exciting tales. One is about an ancient king named Kalidasa, who built a beautiful garden with amazing fountains a long, long time ago. The other is about what happens in the future, when people from another planet come to visit Earth!

The Fountains of Paradise is a really imaginative and adventurous story. It makes you dream about what amazing things humans can build, and how exploring space can bring us together with other beings in the universe. Even though it has some tricky parts, I think elementary school students would find it a fun and inspiring read!

‘Dreamsnake’ is a truly remarkable science fiction novel, with the protagonist Snake at its captivating center.

What I found most impressive was the fact that the main character is a woman. In the traditionally male-dominated realm of science fiction, this subversion of the typical “heroic quest” narrative is truly refreshing.

Check the Wikipedia.

　Hugo Nebula Locus Award Triple Crown Op.

Dreamsnake is a 1978 science fiction novel by American writer Vonda N. McIntyre. It is an expansion of her 1973 novelette “Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand“, for which she won her first Nebula Award in 1974.

Expanding the Pontificate:

Furthermore, the ambiguous treatment of the characters’ gender identities was fascinating. By avoiding the use of overt gender pronouns, the author allows the reader to engage with the characters on a deeper level, free from the constraints of preconceived notions.

But what I found most compelling about Snake was her remarkable strength and self-sufficiency. She is no mere “heroine” – rather, she is a multifaceted, complex protagonist who steadfastly upholds her own beliefs while deftly navigating the challenges she faces. She moves with a grace and power that is truly inspiring.

Overall, ‘Dreamsnake’ is a groundbreaking work that challenges traditional gender norms. As a female reader, I was deeply moved by the novel’s ability to showcase the rich potential of science fiction told from a woman’s perspective. It is a truly captivating and empowering read.

So get this, it tied with Roger Zelazny’s This Immortal for the Hugo Award and then snagged the first-ever Nebula Award for Best Novel in ’66.
