A Canticle for Leibowitz is by Walter M. Miller, Jr. A classic dystopian science fiction novel. The novel spans multiple centuries and follows an order of monks whose order is dedicated to Saint Leibowitz. The monks are tasked with saving books relics, and other information from the past civilization. As the survivors try to rebuild, we follow the monks as mankind repeats the same mistakes over and over again. This tale is tragic, sad, and at times amusing. It is also a look at mankind, the way history is seen, and religion. A must read for science fiction fans.
