This is honestly one of the most creative fantasy/science fiction stories I've ever read. I dont even like most of the rest of Zelaznys other stuff, but this particular story is so goddamn good. I cant think of any other story quite like it

Unironically The Lord of Light. Its entirely about that, about an arc ship leaving a ruined earth who's crew of super scientists mutate their minds to develop the ability to transfer their souls electronically into new bodies and manifest spiritual powers and also have heightened wills and intelligence to create super technology, who are split between factions of Accelerationists who want to share their Enlightenment with the passengers after they conquer and settle the new planet and Deiocrats who want to rule the passengers as restrictive paternal Gods modeled after the Hindu pantheon believing they will destroy themselves with their super technology
