Always good to read the foundational works of a genre (this being a foundation for sci-fi and dystopian novels). Was hard to follow sometimes, but overall a gripping journey with very important themes. I think I’m used to a bit more world building in my books, which was not very present in this one, but that’s more of a personal preference. Will definitely have to revisit this one in the future to get a better grip on it.
