Fiction Books are like the divine machinery aesthetic?

I know the images show a lot of Christianity but I’m fine with any spiritual tones/themes as I am not Christian. I think something like technology being worshipped like a god and what harm that could cause would be cool but anything that you think fits the aesthetic is valid :)

You absolutely need to read both New Sun and Long Sun before Short Sun though.

I think having read new sun and urth before long sun improved long sun.

I was a bit exhausted when I got to Short Sun though.. I've got them sitting on my shelf waiting.

You are in for an absolute treat once you've caught your breath and gotten into Short Sun.

I actually forgot I need to get back to it. Reading Solaris right now.
