I really enjoyed the book. I’m almost always down for some sci-fi dystopia, and as a religious person I enjoyed this particular lens on it.

A couple I highly recommend from another Catholic author, The Lord of the World, and Dawn of All, by Robert Hugh Benson.

Those two are more early 20th century Catholicism in worldview, which I particularly enjoyed.

Not quite a dystopia, but of you (like me) also loved those books, then a highly recommend CS Lewis' Space Trilogy. One of my favourite series of all time, especially the last one.
Those are good, but kind of strange and hard to get through, especially the first one.
worth it for book 3 though
I’ll have to go back! I remember loving that series as a kid. Thanks!
You ever read 'Too Like the Lightning'? Its really good. One of the things going on through the series is basically "what if a bunch of atheists found compelling yet questionable evidence of a miracle".
I haven’t! I’ll give it a try.
I could not get into Lord of the World although I really enjoyed another novel of Benson's.

Great tip, I'm going to order these now.
