SF: Mockingbird by Walter Tevis

Read this one in a few days, very good (part of SF Masterworks, gives it a head start.) Essential principle is that the human race has been dumbed down and largely dehumanized by their own creations and is dying out due to an apparent administrative error. Nice take on the world going out with a whimper rather than a bang. Easy reading, if a little too carefully planned.

Excellent bit about the futility of making toasters.
