Romaani «Jumalate valik» (A Choice of Gods; 1971) peetakse ulmekirjanduse suurmeistri Clifford D. Simaki (1904–1988) loomingu paremikku kuuluvaks, kõrvuti teostega «Linn», «Härjapõlvlaste kaitseala» ja «Vahejaam». Raamatus kohtume Maale naasva inimkonnaga, kellega seisavad silmitsi omal ajal planeedile truuks jäänud telepaatiavõime omandanud inimesed – grupp indiaanlasi ja perekond Whitney. Aga romaanis tegutsevad ka kaks robotite kogukonda, ühed neist peavad kristlikku misjonit ja teised konstrueerivad salapärast superaju.
