I would suggest looking at authors who are not exclusively SF. Doris Lessing wrote some extrapolative novels which she considered her best writing. Margret Atwood has done an early, Handmaids Tale, and Maddadam Trilogy which critiques the flaws of this culture. Go back to some older tyros who do it well, such as Orwell, Wells, Hienlien and Philip Dick. I'll leave you with a book which will put us all to shame Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell.
