Anathem is one of the most profound books I've read. I think about it often. It's quite divisive though -- I've stopped recommending it after friends HATED it (and probably didn't finish it).

I only recommend it when I feel like I really know someone is going to be dorky about it in the same way I am dorky about it. It's not for everyone. But if it's for you, it's really for you.

You should read Progress & Poverty by Henry George. Not only is it profoundly, it is not fiction.
