Moderate: Racism and Sexism
It's, uh...definitely a sci-fi book written by a white guy libertarian in 1965. Expect unnecessary sexism, plenty of weird asides about women and their appearances, and racial descriptions that probably felt progressive in the 60s and now just seem like vaguely positive steroetypes? None of it (to me) is so blinding as to make the book unreadable, but it's good to know going in.
