In a dystopia where market capitalism and television game shows have spiraled out of control, Ben Richards enters himself in the last-chance money-making scheme of the Free-Vee games. Success means a life of luxury, and failure means death. Unfortunately, in the last six years no one has survived the game.

fast-paced, problematic

This reads very much the way I assume it was written. Fueled, shall we say? It's full of misogyny (pudenda, anyone?) and racism. You can probably skip it, but don't think watching the movie is a substitute as they are nothing alike in plot or characters, imo.
