I had some trouble getting into this book at first, but enjoyed it overall. Since I'm not very familiar with Hindu gods in general, it took some getting used to, but the story is really good. Technology plays a background role, woven into everyday life in mystical-sounding ways by a group of technology haves, who rule over the technology have-nots as gods. The "gods" seem quite convinced by their own godhood, raising interesting questions about human nature.
