I’m starting to read after a very long time - it has been decades, since I’ve “read” anything properly. Can I get a good recommendation?

What do you think of the Dune series? Is that easy to read? On second thought I am a little curious about technotheism or dark-absurdism in general. I’ve enjoyed reading Samurai 8 and Ai-Ren, which are both Japanese manga, and I wanted something that has the vibe of Asura’s Wrath or Deus Ex Machina.
No, Dune is not easy to read and would be a terrible re-introduction to reading. I love that book and have read all of the original series, but the first page is enough that people put it down. It might be OK if you have seen one of the movies.
I don’t know if this is exactly what you’re looking for, but Neal Stephenson springs to mind. He grapples with some big ideas regarding technology and philosophy. Snow Crash is a good start. I wouldn’t say it’s an ‘easy’ read but I think it might have a similar vibe to the stuff you like
