I just finished C.S. Lewis' That Hideous Strength, which is an odd combination of anti-science fiction, Christianity, and British mythology. Essentially there's a malevolent research institute taking over a tidy English village, and their stated ambition is progressive social engineering -- finding scientifically superior ways to curb crime, that sort of thing. Their real goal is to create a new race of men, freed from the vile stuff of organic bodies, and then cleanse the Earth of that messy, messy nature. Fortunately for humanity, the heir of King Arthur is looking to wake up Merlin, so he can be posessed by angels/Greek gods/spirit-things guarding the planets and destroy the work of the bad angel/greek god/spirit thing, Satan, who is really behind this nefarious plot. Essentially the book is an argument against various aspects of modernity (moral relativism, the treating of nature as an antagonist to be conquered, and so on) with a plot that's more mythic than scientific, even if concerns space. I would have found it less confusing had I read the two books set in space before this, but I like my SF more to the point.
I then read The Abolition of Man, which makes the same moral/philosophical arguments without Arthur and space-beings.
Next up is Power, Inc: the Epic Battle Between Big Business and Government.
