«Olympos» is the science fiction novel by Dan Simmons, published by Robert Laffont in paperback (786 pages).
In a remote future, an elite of posthumans installed on the Olympus of Mars recreates the Trojan War as entertainment, while common humanity, reduced to an idle and unchallenging life, watches as the voynix, the creatures that once served them, gather to exterminate them. The work combines classical mythology and futuristic speculation.
The edition is from 2006 and belongs to the Ailleurs & Demain collection by Robert Laffont.
For science fiction readers interested in a plot that mixes classical mythology and dystopian futures.
