I think there are some excellent books that fit the worthy future government novel category; ‘1984’, ‘Brave New World’, ‘Fahrenheit 451’, ‘A Clockwork Orange’ etc and not to mention science-fiction versions. 
Your write up makes me think of an inverted ‘News From Nowhere’ barely concealed smugness (although I’m not sure that’s the right word). I may prefer a little more subtlety I suspect.

[REVIEW] The Shockwave Rider by John Brunner

Scoresby

I might have overreacted a tiny bit. He does explore some pretty interesting ideas about technology and society, especially when you figure he was writing in the late 1970s  I just don't like feeling preached at in fiction.
