Brin’s an interesting case. In addition to his impressive bibliography (still hoping for the sentient space-exploring dolphins movie to get greenlit..), he has consulted for NASA's Innovative and Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program. He’s also quite vocal politically, for team blue. Last week he penned this pre-mid-terms piece on the UAP transparency topic: https://davidbrin.blogspot.com/2026/10/disclosure-ufo-cults-... . Couldn’t be more critical & denigrating. I happen to disagree, but at least he’s engaging with the subject, Manhattan Project 2.0 and all, which is more than most from his side of the aisle do. (Notable standout exceptions Andre Carson and Jared Moskowitz)
