I don't think, that this book will become an integral part of our culture, but we can see the most common problem of our society-taking drugs. Of, course, "NZT" is not just a drug in the meaning, in that we got used to take it. It's some kind of dope that stimulates our brain. But as drug it has one side effect: you would die anyway, if you took a pill once.
This book doesn't teach you. It doesn't teach you that drug taking is bad; doesn't teach you how to act in such kind of situation. It's just adventure novel.
To make this book better, I would change the ending: in the original Eddie just finds the way how to make the effect of ''NZT'' eternal. I would make Eddie understand that he is clever enough to do without ''NZT'' and find some kind of antidote. Then, may be, the book would be taken much seriously.

Good enough, but if you meant this task as the one about culture, it's not exactly it. The task about culture is where you need to find several examples of culture, illustrate them with quotes, intepret them, reflect. You just picked one, the main one, but some more details are necessary

It's kinda interesting analysis and the topics touched by you are quite burning. But did you say anything about film adaptation or I just missed it?
