Out on a limb here, but this is one of my favorite books.
Along the lines of 1984 or Brave New World, it's about a futuristic, totalitarian society, which looks very much like our country today. Books are burned as a matter of policy, people invest thousands into home entertainment systems, don't WANT to read or think, teenagers kill each other for entertainment, there is no meaningful interaction between people, only with the predictable and inane "wall TV."
That's just a taste - very good food for thought. I think it describes our society very well, even now already.
