OK, thanks. I actually wasn't shocked by the socialist element of it. I
don't support it, but I know a priest who is a fine fellow and calls himself
a socialist. He is a big fan of Dorothy Day, a famous Catholic socialist.
There were also the famous Berrigan brothers, who were also Catholic
socialists (and proclaimed that Jesus was a socialist), and Francis Bellamy,
who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance, was a famous Baptist socialist, as was
Martin Luther King, Jr. There have been prominent socialists among other
religions as well. 

The novel part of "Salvation Science" is the bit that says, "In the world of
the future, then, humans will live as primitive hunter-gatherers while at
the same time doing scientific research ...." A noble idea, though not
practical for many years to come. Perhaps some day humans may be able to
combine the best of both worlds, modern and Paleolithic.
