Reynolds, Mack (pseud. of Dallas McCord Reynolds). The Towers of Utopia. New York: Bantam, 1975.

Mild near-future dystopia with Universal Credit Cards, huge corporations running most things, "Security TV spy lenses," Meritocracy, a Negative Income Tax, very high high-rise buildings with "bowels" and comparisons with anthills—and with surplus production taken up with building more housing. See G. Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four, R. Silverberg, The World Inside (listed in this Category).
