Genesis by Bernard Beckett
Interesting little book I picked up at the library on a whim, I liked the all black cover (yes I often judge books by their cover). The story takes place far in the future after some sort of post apocalyptic world, one that has been rebuilt though. We follow the life of a young theologist in her quest for academic achievement. She is presenting a thesis to a board of academics, this thesis is actually based on the "end" of the world.
The book is very short, and incredibly interesting. It has a wonderful ending, which is often hard to come by in science fiction pieces. The prose is tight and concise, and there isn't a lot of extraneous details or characters.
A definite recommendation.
