In the 22nd century visionary scientist Vannevar Morgan conceives the most grandiose engineering project of all time, and one which will revolutionize the future of humankind in space: a Space Elevator, 36,000 kilometers high, anchored to an equatorial island in the Indian Ocean. But first he must solve a million technical, political, and economic problems while allaying the wrath of God. For the only viable place it can be built on happens to be a sacred mountain with a buddhist monastery on top. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fountains_of_Paradise
