  I took such a class at Wayne State University in Detroit, and really
felt that it dealt with the subject well.  I don't remember all of the
books we dealt with but here are a few that stand out in my mind;
 
    "Player Piano"  by Vonnegut
    "Cat's Cradle"  also by Kurt Vonnegut
    "Hard Times" by Charles Dickens
    Short Story: "The Roads Will Roll" (or something to that effect)
                            by Robert Heinlein
    "Car Culture" (can't remember the author)
    "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley
 
  Perhaps there is an advantage to the fact that most of these are
 science fiction in that the students might be more willing to read
 them since it is a "technical genre" from the outset.
