August 15th, 2047. Happy 100th Birthday, India....
On the eve of Mother India's 100th birthday, 10 people are doing 10 very
different things. In the next few weeks, all these people will be swept
together to decide the fate of the nation. From gangsters to government
advisors, from superstitious street-boys to scientists to
computer-generated soap stars, River of Gods shows a civilization in
flux--a river of gods.
River of Gods is an epic science fiction novel, as sprawling, vibrant
and colourful as the sub-continent it describes. This is a novel that
blew apart the narrow Anglo- and US-centric concerns of the genre, and
ushered in a new global consciousness for science fiction as a whole.
