Trying to distract myself re-reading old favorite stories by Robert Heinlein. But one novella, written in 1940 is still compelling. Long predating A Handmaide’s Tale, If This Goes On… tells about a Religious Dictatorship in the US and the fight against it. Sadly still very relevant!

In a materials science discovery, scientists made a liquid silk solution that hardens and picks up objects—not unlike Spider-Man’s web.
