The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov

adventurous emotional inspiring

4.5

Fantastic book! This was my first Asimov read, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The central theme, which explores the dangers of rushing technological advancements (“free” energy) fueled by greed and vanity, while ignoring long-term consequences ( blowing up the sun), feels just as relevant today, especially when talking about climate change.

I loved second part exploring a completely alien society, yet it felt familiar. That's what makes great science fiction—describing something that doesn't exist, but making it feel completely believable!
