Ede the God
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ede The God, also known as Nikolos Daru Ede, is a character in David Zindell's science fiction series, A Requiem for Homo Sapiens. Ede is said to have copied his consciousness directly into a large computer he calls "The Eternal Computer".
The Architects of the Universal Cybernetic Churches believe that he has attained Godhood through this and, according to the Cybernetic Doctrine of Totality, eventually the Ede-Computer will grow to encompass the whole universe and the universe, being a large computer itself, will reach halt state. This was not the belief of Ede himself, rather his assistant Ivi Olorun proscribed doctrine and founded the church, the chief doctrine of which is "Ede is God, and God he shall be, and there shall only be one God."
Ede The God was destroyed by the Silicon God. Ede is supposed to have been an ally of Kalinda of Qallar. A cut-down version of his personality after his death was preserved in an Architect's Devotionary computer, that is held by Danlo wi Soli Ringess on his journeys to find the planet Tannahill and recover Ede's lost human body.
