Unsong is an absolute favorite. I would love to pay $$$ for a printed version.

Its target demographic miiiight be specifically Jewish, atheist, programmers. Who think about those three things a lot and in combination. I've stopped trying to get anyone not in that demo to read it. But if that's you, please give it a shot!

Not being Jewish or knowing a whole lot about Judaism, is too much of it going to go over my head?

I'm pretty lousy at noticing/interpreting symbolism in fiction, in case that would either help or hurt my enjoyment here (e.g. "blowing right past symbolism that I wouldn't understand anyway" might be better than "noticing it but being stumped for lack of religious background").

Also not Jewish, and easily my favorite read of the 2010's, both in thought-provocation and pure enjoyment. Not since Douglas Adams have I been tickled pink by every word.

As someone who skews atheist but is fascinated by religion, the Kabbalistic mysticism was not only fascinating in its own right, but also a superb lens to examine theological questions without triggering the reflexive aversions many of us non-believers have developed w/r/t Christianity.

I'm not Jewish and absolutely loved it.

Two out of three, so I can't really be sure, but I don't think you need any of these to enjoy Unsong.

I, nor my friend, is Jewish and quite liked it. (Still atheist programmers, so that might help)

Is there something similar for theist catholic programmers?
