Query: Old classic, but slow

This book was, no doubt, great in its time. By modern standards it is extremely slow. There is very little action, most of the book is a lot of preachy lectures (literally lectures from profs) telling us political background and theory. It was original and unique in its day, no doubt. But now, although the tech holds up in spots, it is quite dull to actually read. I'm not sure why people always rate books a couple of bonus stars for being old, but this seems to be the case here.
