Still current, and great suspense even when knowing the twist. Full review here.
Thanks to Lyz Lenz for recommending this in her newsletter and putting me in the right frame of mind to understand the sociopolitical context and appreciate what the novel is doing (although it's dated and I don't think he really pulls off writing from Joanna's perspective). Seriously creepy and - unfortunately - still painfully relevant, as Lenz points out.
