Ya i didnt really get that we jumped back to the beginning after chapter 2 until i was im the last 1/3rd of the book. Definitely have to just figure it out and the "epicness" for lack of a better term in lord of light sort of compares to how big the battles and such were in The Crippled God.
I really love the idea of people meeting their "gods / makers" and seeing that they are just the same people as well. Those aspects of malazan and the lord of light i love - people who ascended to godhood.

Yeah, the technology creating religion aspect I think is one of the most interesting facets of the book. Most sci fi has the religions fighting technology, not embracing it. Dune and one of the short stories in George rr Martin's tuf voyaging book are the only other books I've read I can think of offhand that play with that dynamic.
I had the same issue as you my first read-through. I knew something was off when I got to the time shift, but I didn't figure out it was dual timelines until about halfway through the book myself. There are a bunch of subtle clues here and there that are obvious once you know, but tough to see until then.
