"... detailing a grim, overcrowded future ..."

This is one of my pet peeves. BR's future isn't particularly overcrowded; J. F. Sebastian has the whole damn Bradbury building to himself. As he says: "there's plenty of space for everyone".

The L.A. of BR is a dense urban environment, but, if anything, it feels like a city being slowly abandoned, not overcrowded.

I suspect the hotkeys for 'overcrowded' and 'dystopian' are just close to each other. Anyway. I'm sure y'all have some LALR grammars to discuss, or something.

people are not the only things that can make a space crowded, and the author is perhaps referring to this.
