Not sure if the author was actually a libertarian, but libertarians claim the book as one of their own and promote it as such constantly. Regardless of the author's actual affiliations it is still a garbage, fad book that is not worth anyone's time

Paris in the Twentieth Century

Unpublished Jules Verne novel, publisher refused to publish it because it seemed too outlandish.

Like a century later it gets found in a desk and considered prophetic, finally gets published.

The bit near the start about how the air transportation machines work goes on far too long, but after that it's all social critique and commentary.

Snowcrash maybe, or Neuromancer
Explicit dystopias are rarely interesting because they lack nuance by definition
