Re-reading Stand on Zanzibar. Despite being obsessed with overpopulation (a product of its time), the book is both endearingly dated - there's like 10 very advanced mainframe computers in their world, rented to governments and large companies, that's it - and at the same time weirdly prescient in its description of the future on some stuff, like the impact of social media or the epidemic of mass shootings.

It's really good.
