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?

@[email protected] It's a little golden-age, but "Lord of Light" by Roger Zelazny is an excellent hard science fiction book with a heavy religious component. "A Rose for Ecclesiastes" also by Zelazny, and "The Deathbird" by Harlan Ellison are both top notch as well, and deal with religion through their own very different lenses.

The Golden Age of Sci-Fi is 11-14 years old. :D
