"Slow Gods" | Den Haag Sci-Fi Book Club - #09

Hello Sci-fi lovers,

Our next book is "Slow Gods" by Claire North. This thought-provoking science fiction novel takes us on a journey through a far-future universe where humanity has spread across the stars and the boundaries between technology, religion, identity, and consciousness have become increasingly blurred.

The story follows a group of characters caught up in a mysterious and dangerous situation involving ancient powers, artificial intelligence, and civilizations whose understanding of time and existence is very different from our own. As the story unfolds, Slow Gods explores questions about what it means to be human, how civilizations evolve, and whether beings that exist beyond our understanding can truly be called gods.

Claire North is the pen name of British author Catherine Webb, known for her ambitious and philosophical science fiction and fantasy novels. Her books often explore big ideas about humanity, time, identity, and society while telling deeply personal stories. Slow Gods is part of the wider The Songs of the Dying Earth universe and offers a fascinating blend of space opera, philosophical science fiction, and mystery.
