From the supplier: Richard Powers's The God Bug Variations at first appears to be a novel about the tangled affairs of two love stories separated by time, however the reader is inundated with information on computer programming, genetics, evolution, art and music history - perhaps at times annoying the reader who does not see its need in the story. The novel is not a love story, but the navigating the terrain of information and the differences between information and knowledge.
