The book started in a quite interesting fashion, following a scientist who has found a very dangerous problem with the electron pumps, and is trying to persuade those higher up to shut them down. However, it soon becomes apparent that this first half of the book is not going to go very far, and there is a distinct lack of anything happening in the first section. The next part of The Gods Themselves is based in the parallel universe which are also involved in the electron pump. Things are very different there, ...more

Premium Review The Gods themselves - Isaac Asimov: The Gods Themselves - best, or a bore? (276 words)

When I heard about this book, the basic idea sounded very appealing, so I had a quick look, and managed to find a very old book in my dad's shelves. The general idea of The Gods Themselves is that in the near future, a scientist "discovers" an unlimited energy source, called an electron pump, which interacts with a parallel universe. Life on Earth soon becomes dependant on this energy, without thinking of the possible consequences. The book started in a quite interesting fashion, following a scientist who has found a very dangerous problem with the electron pumps, and is trying to persuade those higher up to shut them down. However, it soon ...  Read the complete review

The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov My library find last visit was a battered old copy of this book, which I very much hope is still in print and readily available. (Ever noticed how the best library books often look rather well read?) Although it is set in the twenty second century, I realized this book was quite old because it was science fiction, without a personal computer or mobile phone in sight! At first I found this a reminder that the book had been published way back in 1972, and a lot has changed. However, most of the issues are relevant to today. This issue of sustainability is central to the electron pump, and the misgivings that Denison ...  Read the complete review

This is the most amazing book I have ever read. Sounds hackneyed, I know, but it's true. It would be my first choice of book in any collection (the nuns at the convent would kill me - I should really choose the Bible first!) This book normally languishes under its normal classification of "Science Fiction". And yes, it is SF, and as a twelve year old, I read it as such. BUT - it is also a beautifully crafted love story, incorporating awakening sexual awareness, love, ethics, coping with society and the pain and joy of parenthood. One and a half decades later, the story is still a good one for me. Honestly, if you ...  Read the complete review
