...isn't this book just a thinly-veiled Author's Manifesto for Rand's crazy religion? Of course it's going to be awful prose; all so-called SF books that are like this are.

I only know this because I've read way too many of them. WHAT it was a boxful of them from a used bookstore okay!

Atlas Shrugged is not really usefully described as SF imo

Mere impossibility of events described does not in and of itself make something science fiction

AYRT

True. A lot of "impossible events that are non-SF" got marketed as spec fic or "New Wave" back in the day, though. Loads of fans were reading Rand, too, IIRC. Bleh. Bonus!fail a lot of Newage (rhymes with sewage etc) reads like the unsold draft of some SFF novel the author never managed to sell. At least, they always have, to me. Celestine Prophecy, Way of the Warrior series, some guru guy's autobiography, who mid-way through his life, gets told he's the religion's next messiah. Oh, and there was an astral travel through time into the future book, where the only survivors are living in a hippie commune, and the "traveller" had to "bring back" the "special knowledge" so he wrote the book. Aaaaaaaand I forget what else was in that box.....

And so, at each death, the soul descends further into the inner earth, attaining ever greater levels of purification, reaching enlightenment at the core. Assuming, of course, that your soul is able to avoid... the lava men.

This comment is amazing. +100000000 for Jose Chung's From Outer Space reference.
