River Of Gods
Imagining India in 2047 is much easier now thanks to Ian MacDonald, whose River Of Gods is a stellar sci-fi adventure set in a future subcontinent which has devolved into independent regions and cities.
Nearly a dozen characters are at the heart of the story, a tale of the emergence of banned “Generation 3″ Artificial Intelligence (A.I. passing the Turing test), societal unrest and a looming water war after several years of failed monsoons.
The characters are richly complex, from an Afghan journalist raised as a refugee in Sweden who is the pawn of an ambitious Hindi fundamentalist leader to an adviser to the Bharati Prime Minster with a politically lethal attraction to “nutes”, surgically altered human gender neutrals. The rousing conclusion, “Ensemble”, where stories intersect and destinies met, makes for reading that is nearly impossible to put down until the tale is finished.
