Order of Uplift Books
Uplift is a series of hard science fiction novels by American author David Brin. In the Uplift universe, civilization is made up of many different sentient races. An “uplift” is when a species genetically modifies a species that is pre-sapient so that it becomes sapient. The only species that was not uplifted was humanity – or so it is believed.
David Brin began his Uplift series in 1980 with the novel Sundiver. The series is currently ongoing. The novels Brightness Reef, Infinity’s Shore and Heaven’s Reach are considered the “Uplift Storm Trilogy.” Below is a list of David Brin’s Uplift books in order of when they were originally published (which is the same as their chronological order):
