    What is your idea of heaven?
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2010*

Heaven, life after death, even Hell, are things that can drive us to endless distraction.  Not surprisingly, they are also hot topics for science fiction writers.  "
  
Riverworld: Including To Your Scattered Bodies Go & The Fabulous Riverboat







  
  
    " is Philip Jose Farmer's classic, literary, and often brilliant attempt to deal with this question.  In Farmer's vision humanity is resurrected on a world with a river that starts at the north pole, winds a long, circuitous route around the planet, and dumps back into the north pole.  At the pole is also an island with a grand building that becomes the goal of the book's protagonists.  They devise a variety of schemes to arrive there, all without the aid of modern industry or even any kind of economy.  Farmer's vision of humanity is somewhat dark.  The one theme that bothers me is the unrepentant evil that Farmer portrays as the defining feature of humanity and their newfound world.  While it is not a "hell", per se, Farmer's vision of the afterlife is far more dystopian than utopian, unnecessarily so in many cases.  Despite this, River World is a fascinating look at one possible afterlife and the consequences it creates.

    Had me hooked
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2012*

This is an awesome book which was brought to my attention via the Nerdy Show Book Club hosted by the members of the Nerdy Show Podcast. I've never heard of this author or the Riverworld Saga before and I have to say that it was a great read. I'm already working on the second of the books in the series.The story here is absolutely awesome and delved into a realm of sci-fi that I'd never really ventured into before. The story follows the exploits of Sir Richard Francis Burton after his and millions of other humans resurrection into the "Riverworld". Burton mysteriously finds himself naked and hairless amongst many other humans from various locations on Earth. Individuals from all throughout time and geographic location have mysteriously been placed next to a massive river, naked as the day they were born with nothing more than an empty metal container.Being the explorer that he is Burton immediately sets himself to exploring his new world and trying to find the meaning behind his sudden resurrection. The further he digs in his efforts to discover the true purpose of what has happened to closer he gets to the dark truth surrounding the events.
