It’s considered young adult fiction, but M. T. Anderson’s _Feed_ supplies lots of good fodder for discussion of the internet, search engines, information/networking overload, and so on, as well how increasingly computerized spending affects our role/value as consumers. It also alludes to environmental collapse.

I recommend reading the Amazon description to see if it might work for you.

Yeah, Feed is a good one. The Uglies series isn’t as good, but it does have highly advanced society and alludes to if it’s possible to create a utopia society.
