L. Ron Hubbard wrote over two hundred tales and novellas, and about twenty novels, as well as poems, film and theatre scripts. Rather than seeing the fiction work of Hubbard as a tool of propaganda for the Church of Scientology, it would be more accurate to describe this cultural production as a type of ‘religious industry’ that is synergistically marketing products through the Church.

In this sense, the Church of Scientology would simply be employing commonly employed tools according to our logic of late capitalism. These tools can be controversial. One of the main public controversies concerning this group stems from the fact that as a religious group it does not show any signs of detachment from the capitalist colonisation process.
