   Why not .. all of the above?

   If this sort of thing scratches an itch you have, try Lawrence Sander's The Tomorrow File, from 1975. The author rather gleefully throws as many dystopian tropes into the mix as is feasible (and then a few more for good measure), and makes it work, oddly enough.

   Godel Escher Bach - non fiction

   The Tomorrow File - fiction. Written in the 1970s as the author's only foray into science fiction. Seriously, it's that good.

   Like so many scientific pursuits, this one has its roots in science fiction. A terrific trashy futuristic novel from the 70's by Lawrence Sanders called The Tomorrow File[0] features preserved heads that are kept around to spout ideas in the future, when they might become useful, among many other Brave New World-type concepts.
