I think that Canticle for Leibovitz is one of the great speculative fiction novels of the 20th century, one of the great post apocalyptic novels of all time. It’s also become clear to me that a lot of people who are not as old haven’t read it. What more recent books would you compare it to?

I'm convinced! Sparta was apparently worse than I thought, and I always figured it was pretty bad - what with all the helots and probably "300" was mostly BS. bsky.app/profile/bret...
For instance that helotry was 'worth it' because it enabled the Spartans to be the greatest warrior-badasses ever.' Obviously not - the Spartans were militarily mediocre viewed against the broad Mediterranean. 11/
The U.S. military’s admiration of a proto-fascist city-state is based on bad history.
