Can concur The Ministry of the Future is a good read, really makes you think. Although the pacing does vary, the reading never feels like a grind.

Yeah the pacing is a bit all over the place but I think becuase so much of it feels like separate stories that all intertwine? I've read other KSR books, but this is the only one that's truly stuck with me.
