I reread (listened to actually) that book last week. it's probably qualified as "uncomfortably prescient" at every point since idk the bush administration. in particular barris is exactly the sort of psycho this moment was made for, there's not that much difference between him and musk
I haven't read the book but I really enjoyed the movie.
they're almost identical. biggest difference is that barris is less charismatic (not being RDJ), creepier and more clearly a crypto nazi in the original. I don't think you're missing anything by sticking with the movie
