Not "novel of ideas" but what was blowing in the Wind

[Perry Noid]

That book helped me immensely after reading GR. It is great for folks like
me who require the cultural and historical context of the novel without
having to follow along reading every single annotation from that other
weisenberger book or the wiki. Helped me to understand the major
intellectual discourse from the "long 60s" as well providing further
context. I think it was last year or the year before when i first finished
GR, after joining the list, read this book immediately after, then re-read
GR again not too long after that. If I were reading GR for a college course
I think Domination and Freedom would be an excellent companion or aperitif
for students.
