Product Details
- A tremendous book from start to finish. A deep, creative, satisfying story. -Ursula K. Le Guin One of the scariest science fiction novels I've ever read. -Thedore Sturgeon IF I COULD IMAGINE MYSELF AS GOD, I WOULD ALREADY BE GOD. Arkadi and Boris Strugatski are the only duo who deserve the title of the greatest science fiction writers of the Soviet period with their intellectually provocative, incredibly entertaining, brave and critical books. Being God is Hard Work is one of the bravest journeys into the heart of humanity's dark past. Humanity has sent observers to a planet exactly like Earth, on which humans cannot go beyond the dark ages. The main purpose of these observers, who are not allowed to intervene in the course of this planet in any way, is to record the dark age of humanity in every detail. In the Arkanar Kingdom, which is on the verge of a great change, people live under pressure, drown in the cradle of innovations, and literate people are lynched. Anton, one of the observers sent to this planet, lives the life of a nobleman named Don Rumata, while also trying to save the intellectuals of the period.

Arkadi ve Boris Strugatski[Çevirmen] Hazal Yalın Editorial Review
**Editorial Review** "Being God is Hard Work" immerses readers in a unique world reminiscent of medieval Europe, presenting a society where literacy is condemned and books are simply destroyed. This backdrop sets the stage for a more anthropological approach to science fiction, distinguishing it from other technologically driven works commonly found in the genre. Central to the narrative is the character Anton, also known as Don Rumata, through whom the story unfolds as a historical observer among around 250 historians from Earth. Readers' experiences with the book seem to diverge significantly. Many science fiction enthusiasts appreciate its depth and are drawn into the intricate layers of storytelling, with some even expressing a desire to explore more works by the author. However, others find the pacing slow and the subject matter tedious, noting an initial struggle to grasp the plot. While the book offers substantial narrative richness, those not aligned with science fiction may find it challenging, if not unengaging. In summary, while "Being God is Hard Work" poses a compelling philosophical inquiry within its fictional setting, its pacing and thematic explorations may alienate readers expecting traditional sci-fi elements. The differing reviews suggest a niche appeal primarily to dedicated fans of the genre, who will benefit from the book's thought-provoking content, while general readers may want to Consider alternatives. **
