| Why it’s on the list | Neil Gaiman’s novel of an ex-convict, Shadow, driving across the United States in the middle of a war between the old gods immigrants brought with them and the new ones the country has made — media, markets, technology. Its premise, that a society’s real objects of worship can be read off what it pays attention to, is why it gets cited well outside fantasy. |
