Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 257
Dip below the ocean’s surface and you are soon confronted by forms of life that could not seem more foreign to our own: sea sponges, soft corals, and serpulid worms, whose rooted bodies, intricate geometry, and flower-like appendages are more reminiscent of plant life or even architecture than anything recognizably animal. Yet these creatures are our cousins. As fellow members of the animal kingdom — the Metazoa— they can teach us much about the evolutionary origins of not only our bodies, but also our minds.

In an Indian village in the 1950s, a precocious child is born into a family of Dalit coconut farmers. King Rao will grow up to be the most accomplished tech CEO in the world and, eventually, the leader of a global, corporate-led government. In a future in which the world is run by the Board of Corporations, King’s daughter, Athena, reckons with his legacy—literally, for he has given her access to his memories, among other questionable gifts.

Keeps getting better and better as it goes along.

The author tells several stories to piece together the larger narrative of King's life. Each story has its surpises and its 'aha' moments, when you suddenly understand. "Of course!". Each story is a glimps of how humans arrange governance and economics and the consequences of those arrangments. A productive coconut plantation pulls a family from untouchable to landowners, but then changes forever when they vote to divide it's bounty rather than share it together. The tragic consequences are practically narrated by a school teacher turn Maoist as he indoctronates his students
Together these stories paint a picture of our near future. When you finally see the picture, you an 'aha' moment. It's a picture of what the world has/will become. It's plausible and its terrifying.
