My creative writing teacher in high school was a huge sci-fi fan, and she introduced me to this book back in the 90s. It was one of the first sci-fi books that I absolutely loved (and still do).
It’s an important book for the genre, but I rarely meet someone in person who’s read it which I think is a shame. It’s held up well over time and fits in nicely with all the post-apocalyptic / dystopian media around today. It’s as much of a “must read” as Dune IMO.
