The Big God Network was reviewed in the November, 2008 issue of the online journal Primordial Traditions, which is devoted to religion, mythology and philosophy. I was honored by their choosing to write about the book. Here is an excerpt of Gwendolyn Toynton's review:

The Big God Network is both a science fiction and a satirical comedy which takes the reader on a whirlwind tour of many of the world’s religions via a Cyberpunk style network that creates virtual worlds for its users – much like an advanced and futuristic version of the spiritual communities we see forming already on the internet. The Big God Network reveals a unique alternative vision of the future, with richly portrayed characters and well thought out scenarios that are both creative and intelligent.

The Big God Network abounds with references to many different spiritual and religious traditions, and these references serve to illustrate the author's knowledge in this area. Many of these references are intentionally humorous; for example in The Big God Network one can buy a double shot of samsara, or for the more adventurous there is the prospect of a visit to the Yab Yum Palace. And then there are the aliens, Offworld, Baba Ed and the Ufologists who seem quite comfortable amongst the world religions that inhabit the Network. It’s hard to suppress a chuckle at some of the satire employed in The Big God Network – especially at the mentions of the RoboOsho, a robot with similarities to the Tantric Guru Bhagwan Shree Ranjeesh. Personal highlights from the book include the Skuld, a human interface to the Channel named after one of the Norns, the Norse Triad of Goddesses of Destiny. Anyone who enjoys William Gibson and knows even a little about religion or mythology will enjoy reading this book.
