One of the Best Sci-Fi Books Ever

This book is funny and kind of like Kurt Vonnegut, but meaner, wilder, more dense, vicious, and full of word games. One of the secondary characters is paranoid about Communist spies and "decodes" just about everything he sees for propaganda and orders. I suspect that the typos in the book could be arranged and deciphered into some kind of message. I just read it, and it's already one of my favorite books.
