A review by rewarner
Calculating God by Robert J. Sawyer

5.0

I tore this book as I haven't with any books in a while. I generally have a distaste for books that are long conversations or monologues; they are usually trying to make a philosophical point that they could sum up in 1/25 the text by making clear arguments. I make an exception for this book. There is a lot of conversation, a lot of exposition, but it just works. I was hooked the moment I heard the premise: an alien comes to Earth and wants to meet with a Paleontologist. From there on it is a clever race to ever stranger notions.
