Philip K. Dick, the best description of his work was “achieved a level of paranoia in the 60’s that most of us are only beginning to appreciate today.”
That could work with John Brunner too.
“John Brunner”
“Stand on Zanzibar,” and “The Sheep Look Up.” I enjoyed both of them, but I think algore has taken them to heart!
My other favorite book description is for Harry Potter. "It appeals to all ages, ten through pedophile."
Hawksbill Station by Robert Silverberg would make a pretty good movie.
