Algorithm of Goddess - Chowdhury, Quader

. .

Résumé :
The stories of Algorithm of Goddess are eloquent and describe epic bravery, many sociopolitical upheavals, technologic innovations, and evolution, finally culminating in an irresistible global egalitarian women's movement. The twenty-first century will be the milestone of global women's emancipation, as Akashy, a former freedom fighter, and Rahima Clark, a former war child, predict in this novel. The ancient patriarchal religion their grandfathers believed would be altered by their emerging global techno-religion. We hold the Algorithm of Goddess commemorates people's power, especially the power of women-their love, skills, talents, struggles, and triumphs-in few characters, including queers and fanatics. Senior columnist Susan wrote a feature story on the Volunteer Park convention in the Seattle Post: Akashy helped liberate her native country Bangladesh in 1971 as a freedom fighter and a nurse. Akashy, an IT guru and MIT scientist, has been working for women and poor people to achieve global social liberation from the old nationalist and religious fanatics and corporate tycoons. It's a tremendously readable human saga and a novel of adolescent and political awakening. It is full of sophisticated philosophy, tense quest plot-lines and one of the most wonderful explorations of feminism.
