The Shockwave Rider is part of a sort-of-series of near-future novels by John Brunner. The others are Stand on Zanzibar (overpopulation), The Sheep Look Up (ecological catastrophe) and The Jagged Orbit (interracial violence).
I've read The Shockwave Rider but not the others... definitely looking forward to digging into the rest of the John Brunner catalog at some point. Thanks for highlighting those!
Nice, I’ve bookmarked all of them to read together and just soak up Brunner’s vision of the future.
