It's been years since I read this book or watched the movie, so I was excited to read it again with(mostly) fresh eyes. The story on the surface is intriguing, the story underneath about religion made me think. 

Its also interesting to read a "futuristic" book written years ago, where that future is now the past (the late 1990s), and to see how many of the author's predictions have come true.
