	The Gods Themselves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gods Themselves is a 1972 science fiction novel written by Isaac Asimov (ISBN 1061500534).
		The mature alien's name, Estwald, was perhaps inspired by German-Russian Wilhelm Ostwald (1853–1932), inventor of the Ostwald process — a key development in the production of fertilisers and explosives.
		Asimov's inspiration for the title of the book, and its three sections, was a quotation by Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805): "Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens." ("Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain.")

		The male side of the God is contrasted, as remote and detached, with the female side, which comes to be seen as the shakti, the active power and energy of the God.
		Innumerable gods and goddesses are found throughout the mythology and art of Hinduism, but the history of this religion at its highest devotional level is mostly bound up with the simultaneous development of two major cults -- those of the male gods Shiva and Vishnu.

		A short trilogy under one cover, The Gods Themselves is Asimov's finest novel, containing the most consistent and believable portrayal of non-humanoid aliens I've ever seen.
		The Gods Themselves is a novel in three parts, each somewhat self contained while at the time inter-related and even somewhat interactive.
		Part one takes place on a near future Earth and reveals how one not-particularly talented scientist came to be the Father of the Electron Pump, a newfangled invention that uses matter passed between our universe and a parallel universe to generate immense amounts of power at little cost.

		For, if they are gods, they are not alike; but because they are uncreated they are unlike: for created things are like their patterns; but the uncreated are unlike, being neither produced from any one, nor formed after the pattern of any one.
		If the absurdity of their theology were confined to saying that the gods were created, and owed their constitution to water, since I have demonstrated that nothing is made which is not also liable to dissolution, I might proceed to the remaining charges.
		And yet, in fact, they who refer the fables to actual gods, do anything rather than add to their divine character; for they do not perceive, that by the very defence they make for the gods, they confirm the things which are alleged concerning them.

	Review of The Gods Themselves
		The problem is this: Structurally, The Gods Themselves isn’t so much a single novel as a trilogy of novellas.
		The middle third (ironically also called “The Gods Themselves”) is absolutely brilliant and without a doubt one of Asimov’s best half-dozen pieces of writing.
		Although the brilliance of “The Gods Themselves” boosts enormously the impression of the entire book, that is offset to a large extent by the unevenness itself.

		One that comes to mind is his observation that prayer reduces gOD to a kind of cosmological bellhop, of the not very bright or reliable kind.
		It doesn't matter whether hir name is God, or gOD, or Bill Gates, or Steve Jobs, or fate, or Zeus, or whatever.
		We have a duty to complain about it, and that duty is to us, not to God or to anyone else.

		The Gods Themselves won the two awards made for Best Novel in 1973, beating in both cases When Harlie Was One by David Gerrold, and Dying Inside and The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg.
		The Gods Themselves had been by anyone else, I don't think it could have won either award.
		On the other hand the one merit the book does have, in comparison with the later novels, is that it is much shorter.

		This novel, the Gods Themselves, is not a robot novel and is probably one of Asimov's most creative.
		In this novel, Asimov creates a totally believable alien race, complete with three sexes (and deftly handles their mating or lovemaking with sensitivity and creativity.) A bridge between the alien universe and ours offers something for each side, seemingly for free, but scientists on both sides begin to sense that something is evilly wrong.
		This book, "The Gods Themselves," is one of his most original and interesting.

		I saw that the old forces of the universe had arranged for some gods to become bad, killing beings on earth and bringing natural and man-made calamities to human beings.
		Of the gods for whom it had been arranged to impede the Fa-rectification, some have been put into lower dimensions and have never been allowed to return to their origin, while others chose not joining in anything and not being put in charge of anything.
		Some gods who chose doing nothing told him, "You'll be put into lower dimensions if you choose doing so." Hearing such words, the righteous god did not say anything and kept doing what he himself wanted to do.

		As you can read from the jacket of The Gods Themselves, something bad is going to happen to Earth and only three "people" know about it--an Earth scientist, an alien, and someone from the Moon.
		What is really unique about this book is that it is basically three different stories that are tied together with only the common thread that the main character of each story knows of this imminent disaster that will befall Earth.
		I gave The Gods Themselves four stars because the book is good, but not really anything to write home about.
