August 15th, 2047. On the eve of Mother India's hundredth birthday, ten people are doing ten 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 SF novel as sprawling, vibrant and colourful as the sub-continent it describes. This is an SF novel that blew apart the narrow anglo and US-centric concerns of the genre and ushered in a new global consciousness for the genre. Ian McDonald's most recent novel BRASYL was widely acclaimed as the best SF novel of 2007 and RIVER OF GODS won the BSFA Award for Best SF Novel of the Year in 2005.
