The Gods Themselves

Originally published: 1972
Author: Isaac Asimov
 

Genres: Classic Science Fiction, Space Opera, Science Fiction, Adventure

 
One more gem from the greatest science fiction author of the century. This book is a masterpiece. Even if you are not a fan of science fiction, this book is still for you. I think this story is one of the most imaginative stories ever and it is not at all complex or hard to understand. Just read it and treat yourself.
 
A clever idea and concept behind the story and how it was executed. But remember it is not a fast-paced spaceship chasing, blaster shooting adventure. It is about the lifeline of a universe at stake story involving physics, but don’t worry all of it is explained in a very simple way.
 
You are going to get emotionally attached by the end of this book but strangely this book can be three different books because it consists of three chapters and all of these chapters can be read as three separate stories. AND no robots in this book. Instead, a device (with variants) is one of the most important items in the three universes in this book.
 
One of the best stories by Isaac Asimov and it shows. A lot can be said about this book because I found no flaw in it except it is kind of slow for the people who want just action. The world-building, the characters, the creatures, and the parallel universes, all are done with detail and you can feel the work put into this story by the author.   
 
An excellent read for everyone.
 
Synopsis:
“In the twenty-second century Earth obtains limitless, free energy from a source science little understands: an exchange between Earth and a parallel universe, using a process devised by the aliens. But even free energy has a price. The transference process itself will eventually lead to the destruction of the Earth's Sun—and of Earth itself.

Only a few know the terrifying truth—an outcast Earth scientist, a rebellious alien inhabitant of a dying planet, a lunar-born human intuitionist who senses the imminent annihilation of the Sun. They know the truth—but who will listen? They have foreseen the cost of abundant energy—but who will believe? These few beings, human and alien, hold the key to Earth's survival.”
