Try Ubik. One of his best, and very much nails the tenor of our time: a world of microtransactions and decay into nostalgia where it becomes increasingly impossible for anyone to agree about what's objectively true and everybody keeps hoping dead people have all the answers.

I read this about two weeks ago, and I loved it. Beyond the thematic stuff, the structure was thrilling to me; the second half of the book had a narrative tension I seldom associate with sci-fi.
