I took a sci-fi literature class back in the day, that was one of the books we read. Loved it.

Others we read for that class (incomplete list, going off memory):

Ender's Game
Svaha
Dreamsnake
The Left Hand of Darkness
Memoirs Found in a Bathtub

all different, very unique. All are nice reads.

edit to add- took this class way back in the early 90's. Different world then. I remember the professor went off on a tirade about Alfalfa Video store (it was basically a brick and mortar Netflix), and how it was terrible that they wanted your social security # when you signed up for a membership (which, at the time, was a pretty standard thing to require). We all thought she was just a paranoid nutjob

looking back, a lot of her "paranoia" was pretty spot-on
