In his novel *The Master of Light*, Roger Zelazny depicts a planet inhabited by the descendants of Earth colonists. Through advanced technology, the ruling elite has achieved near-immortality and assumed the roles of Hindu gods, controlling society and stifling scientific progress. Sam, known as Buddha, challenges this order. He seeks to restore people’s freedom of choice and knowledge by waging a struggle against the powerful “gods.” The novel combines elements of science fiction, philosophy, and mythology, raising questions about power, faith, freedom, and human nature.
