Algorithm of Goddess

The stories of Algorithm of Goddess are eloquent and describe epic bravery, many sociopolitical upheavals, technologic innovations, and evolution, finally culminating in an irresistible global egalitarian women's movement.

The twenty-first century will be the milestone of global women's emancipation, as Akashy, a former freedom fighter, and Rahima Clark, a former war child, predict in this novel. The ancient patriarchal religion their grandfathers believed would be altered by their emerging global techno-religion. We hold the Algorithm of Goddess commemorates people's power, especially the power of women--their love, skills, talents, struggles, and triumphs--in few characters, including queers and fanatics.

Senior columnist Susan wrote a feature story on the Volunteer Park convention in the Seattle Post: "Akashy helped liberate her native country Bangladesh in 1971 as a freedom fighter and a nurse. Akashy, an IT guru and MIT scientist, has been working for women and poor people to achieve global social liberation from the old nationalist and religious fanatics and corporate tycoons."

It's a tremendously readable human saga and a novel of adolescent and political awakening. It is full of sophisticated philosophy, tense quest plot-lines and one of the most wonderful explorations of feminism.
