I think it still stands as the ultimate examination of the place of youth in modern society, and was prophetic in how it shows how youth would come to dominate society.

As well there is an interesting subtheme on the way government can manipulate law and opposition. I think the Bush regime has read this book, and also the chapters in Orwell's 1984 about the need for perpetual conflict to legitimize government.
