Living in the NW corner of the US, a long walk from the Canadian border. I do plan to move there someday. #DontPanic I like to explore and discuss. But have avoided social media for a long time, due to the obvious. Respectful disagreement encouraged. Rude, insensitive, cruel, harrassing, and generally evil posts will get you blocked. Boosts DO mean endorsement.

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?

Many good mentions here.
I'll second Pslam for the Wild Built
And the mentions. All good choices.

I'll mention as well. But point you toward Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It's goofy and fun and not terribly deep, but the conceit that Earth was built as a computer to figure out the ultimate question strikes me as an answer to religion.
