The setting is novel: "Atlantean" civilization -- i.e., the European model -- has collapsed, to be followed by a new one arising from Polynesia. It's a future with tens of billions of people, crammed together on every square foot of land that isn't being used to grow food. Most people, called Freemen, primarily have sex, watch TV, and do a small amount of work. Those few who rebel become Patrollers --basically cops -- or scientists.
Warning: there's a section involve the adult male character and an underage girl (though she would be old for a Freemen) that does NOT become sexual but that fact that it doesn't is on the male character's mind.
I can't call this a hidden classic. It is however an interesting and distinctive effort from an author who only wrote this and a few SF short stories. ( )
