    (I know this is from a different account, but I’m OP) - I’m familiar with biblical parables, I don’t have too much time to read these days, can you give me summary?

      They’re not really biblical in the sense that they’re about the Christian Bible, although they’re certainly religious (in the sense that the main character is developing a new religion focused on long term survival of humanity). They’re sci-fi books set in the near future of the US, basically during end stage capitalism. It’s hard to give an exact summary because those books are about a lot, but I would say primarily they’re about the importance of empathy and community.
