I wonder if you would find Doctorow's "Little Brother" more palatable. It's set in "modern times" (ugh, depressing to admit that no, it's more accurately set in recent past before things in real life went even crazier out of whack). Also, the main characters are teens and young adults, and while the target audience is "young adults" it can certainly be an eye-opening experience for adult "sheeple" too (not implying you're one, to be clear).
