American Gods by Neil Gaiman is a novel that explores the relationship between technology and religion, and how they have evolved over time. The story follows Shadow, a man who becomes embroiled in a conflict between ancient gods and new deities born from modern technology. As he navigates this strange world, he must confront his own beliefs and values, and make difficult choices that will determine the fate of humanity. The book begins with the arrival of immigrants in America, who brought their beliefs and traditions with them. Over time, these beliefs and traditions evolved into gods, each vying for power and worship. However, with the rise of technology, these gods began to fade away, replaced by new deities such as Media, the god of television, and Mr. Whispers, the god of the internet. As the story progresses, Shadow learns about the war between the old and new gods, and how they are all connected to human beliefs and desires. He also discovers that he has a special role to play in this conflict, and must choose which side to support.
«Американские боги» Нила Геймана - это роман, который исследует взаимосвязь между технологиями и религией, а также то, как они развивались с течением времени. История рассказывает о Шэдоу, человеке, который оказывается втянутым в конфликт между древними богами и новыми божествами, рождёнными из современных технологий. Когда он перемещается по этому странному миру, он должен противостоять своим собственным убеждениям и ценностям, и сделать трудный выбор, который определит судьбу человечества. Книга начинается с прибытия в Америку иммигрантов, которые принесли с собой свои убеждения и традиции. Со временем эти верования и традиции эволюционировали в богов, каждый из которых боролся за власть и поклонение. Однако с ростом технологий эти боги начали исчезать, заменяясь новыми божествами, такими как Медиа, бог телевидения, и мистер Шепот, бог интернета. По ходу повествования Шэдоу узнаёт о войне между старым и новым богами, и о том, как все они связаны с человеческими верованиями и желаниями. Он также обнаруживает, что ему предстоит сыграть особую роль в этом конфликте, и он должен выбрать, какую сторону поддержать.

Il libro inizia con l'arrivo in America di immigrati che hanno portato con sé le loro convinzioni e tradizioni. Nel tempo, queste credenze e tradizioni si sono trasformate in degli dei, ognuno dei quali ha lottato per il potere e l'adorazione. Ma con l'aumento della tecnologia, questi dei cominciarono a scomparire, sostituiti da nuove divinità, come i Media, il Dio della TV, e il signor Shephot, il dio di Internet. Nel corso della sua narrazione, Shadow scopre la guerra tra il vecchio e il nuovo dei, e come sono tutti legati alle credenze e ai desideri umani. Scopre inoltre che ha un ruolo speciale da svolgere in questo conflitto, e deve scegliere quale schierarsi.

Die Geschichte handelt von Shadow, einem Mann, der in einen Konflikt zwischen alten Göttern und neuen Gottheiten verwickelt ist, die aus der modernen Technologie geboren wurden. Wenn er sich durch diese seltsame Welt bewegt, muss er sich seinen eigenen Überzeugungen und Werten stellen und schwierige Entscheidungen treffen, die das Schicksal der Menschheit bestimmen. Das Buch beginnt mit der Ankunft von Einwanderern in Amerika, die ihre Überzeugungen und Traditionen mitgebracht haben.
