canticle for leibowitz was terrific. should be adapted to tv mini-series. nukes (and humans) r tricky. the story is told across thousands of yrs which makes u feel tiny but also not tiny. and it seems that we're gonna need some serious faith if we're to make it to the cosmos.

Lucifer's Hammer dives into this too also, tangentially, I read this a month or two back, and it's almost 50 years old, but was vaguely off in the same space, and felt fresh (and a bit more timeless than Slow Apocalypse)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Tomorrow_(novel) …
