Rent Olympos

Synopsis

Dan Simmons’s extraordinarily complex, epic science fictional exploration of Homer’s ILIAD, the structure and history of human literature, and the future of humanity wraps up in this sequel to ILIUM. The far-future reenactment of the Trojan War on an alternate version of Mars goes wildly off track as the Greeks and Trojans temporarily forget their differences to fight against the post-humans who have taken on the roles and powers of the Greek gods. Aiding them in their battle are the moravecs, part-organic sentient machines from Jupiter’s moons. Meanwhile on Earth, the Eloi-like humans desperately scramble to resist their now dangerously violent former slaves, the voynix, and the forces of the evil alien Setebos.
