There's a lot behind this book, but if you need to file it, it's definitely science fiction. Especially if you bear in mind when it was written.
BTW I'm new to this thread so I might be behind the times but I throughly recommend this. I tried reading it when I was much younger but I just didn't get it. Recently I've been going back over all that stuff every body talks about but few have actually read (1984, Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde etc). This time round 1984 was a huge revelation. A genuine page turner. I'm not sure if the ending was unexpected or maybe I was just hoping for the happy ending (which is not like me). Either way it was thought provoking, gripping and not a little shocking. A true masterpiece.
