My friend handed me a copy of American Gods before I took a small road trip up to Oakland Ca. It was a compelling read, Neil is great with remixing mythology in a modern environment. He is a celebrated author and I recommend taking a look at American Gods next chance you get. Like any book read the first chapter and see if it catches your interest.

“Future Hope” author David Gelber weaves an imaginative life for the characters as they struggle to cope with the turmoil of an overcrowded planet. From the mind numbing tunnel vision of the politicians taking charge of the ITP program all the way to a version of the original eden not fallen from grace. “Future Hope” has enough substance together with a grand scale conflict to carry the readers interest throughout the entire book.

“This book is a bit of man leveraging science in pursuit of new lands to exploit and a parallel dimension creationism story mixed into an intergalactic smoothie.”

At some points the plot stretches a little further then I like to go when talking about eden in other dimensions and how language and the local’s intentions would differ. Still I felt compelled to read through the entire book follow the main character David as he is lost in space on eden like planet, while his horse betting friend Joshua and the mathematician Deborah are trying to figure out if he is really alive. “Future Hope” brings together a ton of futuristic ideas into a digestible plot. Check out “Future Hope” and come back and let me know what you think!
