A review by lordbyrum
The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov
5.0
Audiobook: 4.5/5
"The easiest way to solve a problem is to deny it exists."
So this is the first Asimov book I have read and I was incredibly impressed. This is a near piece of perfect hard science fiction. I was expecting something with a more classic feel and though there were elements of this, I found the science and political aspects to be completely grounded. This book felt very appropriate to the current American political and scientific landscape in which technological progression is always projected as good and rarely questioned. Our need for boundless energy is overcoming our self preservation. We tend to uplift minds whom give us what we want and demonize minds who tell us what we do not want to hear. I highly recommend this book for skeptics of science and those who fully rely on it for their livelihood.
