It still reads as pretty prescient in some ways, but....this may be sacrilege but I feel like a lot of these dystopian future novels would be better as short stories or novellas. The point gets made and then hammered home so repeatedly, that some of the impact gets lost. Or maybe dystopian future novels just aren't my thing and I'm rationalizing why they should be shorter. I shouldn't take it out just on this book, it had some good parts for sure and the beginning and ending were both excellent.
