Description
"On the planet Idun a computer tape of the uploaded mind of a religious prophet has been allowed to merge with an Al. The result is both a Christian icon - a godlike being venerated by the faithful - and a powerful religious terrorist in its computer avatars off-planet. This a god of whom many copies exist. Anton Tso's challenge is to stop the terrorism without killing God."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights ReservedTags
