I need your help #bookstodon. One of the classes I'm taking at the graduate level this semester is Religion & Science Fiction. I read more fantasy, and would like to do my research paper on something that's not obvious (like ST/BS5/Matrix/etc.) & I'd love to use more modern sf rather than the golden age classics.

Anyone have any interesting ideas for my research paper on regarding the intersection of religion and science fiction?

I'll second both of these. "Job" in particular is one of the best direct satires I've seen of authoritarian Christianity. The other weirdly enough is the the Gnostic Gospels; it's an alternate garden of Eden story that's absolutely wild.
