![]() ![]() As a kid I was primarily a fantasy reader and I judged books on the quality of their maps. Series blurb: In my informal Monday Maps and Diagrams series, I showcase scans of SF maps and diagrams from my personal collection. and suggests grand adventures and fascinating worlds.Ĭitation: Hi-res scan of my personal copy of the diagram from the 1983 Bantam edition of David Brin’s Sundiver (1980). But like a gorgeous cover, the image draws you in…. As with so many diagrams and maps, I’m unsure if it is needed or adds to the reading experience. The diagram in Sundiver is a vehicle to descend below the surface of the sun. leafing through the pages of tomes I had long forgotten. This series on maps and diagrams was a nostalgic journey…. The years have sequestered them to the “I enjoyed them as a kid but probably wouldn’t enjoy them now” category. I remember virtually nothing from the novel (I must have been 15 when I read it), although, I was intrigued enough to read ALL the sequels. Today’s diagram comes from David Brin’s first novel in the Uplift sequence, Sundiver (1980). ![]()
