Dune by Frank Herbert
I think the critical missing part of my question is why, why specifically these materials would be important today.
I think, Plato and Bible is mostly suitable for genetically healthy conservative dudes, who can live with only traditions. They potentially lean for building highly resilent systems like software for aircraft, Apollo etc. While adult fantasy like Dune and buddhism may offer insights for autistic people with some genetic quirks, with which they can still live if they have a lifestyle, which optimizes health and congnitive function with medicine, diet, exercises, education. Those build Internet and media software, participate in scientific discoveries.

(Buddhist scriptures also may connect both worlds of seeding conservatives with hierarchies and progressive autists)
