Lord of Light
by Roger Zelazny (1967)

  
   
 
       
     
       
       
     
     
 

Zelazny's finest novel focuses on a starship crew that takes over a colony world and becomes technologically-enhanced Hindu 'gods'. Mind-transfers and cloning keep it all humming along nicely until a retired god throws a karmic dose of Buddhism into the mix. Despite the deity war that ensues - just the tonic for the Summer of Love.

Just thought I would throw this in here as it is one of my favorite sci-fi books and an excellent read.
