Well, the parts of the book they actually included in the movie were pretty faithful to it, as long as you ignore the hood-less stillsuits. In fact this was the real problem with the movie... it would have been better had they gotten a competant screenwriter to change scenes (though not events) to match the medium. Harlan Ellison would have been perfect. Then maybe they could have included the whole story in outline instead of a couple of threads of it in painstaking detail.
