it has the word lasers and some descriptions of religious phenomena in modern terms and that makes it sci fi? Its just a book about a guy tripping balls. Its not like Vineland is scifi
It's not Sci-fi, and properly speaking he didn't really write Sci-fi after Time Out of Joint. After that book he took to examining Chrsitian metaphysics using certain conventions of Sci-fi. You really ought to read The Transmigration of Timothy Archer which is a more lucid treatment of his major themes.

I'm sorry that's all you could get out of those books. Maybe try them again later on down the line.
