“A bit confusing, but funny and interesting. It takes a while to get into it, and the time jump in the beginning doesn't help.
The premise is good though - on a distant planet, in a distant time, the man-made-god Mahasamatman, also known as Buddha but Sam to his friends struggles against his fellow gods, the Indian pantheon who are deliberately withholding the technology of their old world from the humans.
At times hilarious and at others insightful, the book reinterprets gods, demons and religion in a science fiction setting. It is definitely a good read, though not for those entirely uninitiated to Indian religious history.”
