I think making predictions about the future is one of weakest parts of any sci-fi book. Stand on Zanzibar's real strength is that the issues it explores in the 1960's are arguably more relevant today. It presents a world seemingly always on the brink of Malthusian catastrophe that somehow never eventuates and all the insanity and madness inherent in an over-populated world.
