You're making a lot of great points here. It's a very zeitgeisty novel, isn't it. You've called it a 'cultural artifact' in your other comment, and that hits the nail on the head, I think.

We have all this technology, science, psychology, simultaneous xenophobia and exoticism stuff, all coupled with repressive morality and religiosity.

And we have the monsters, who are so beautifully suited to showcase an era's underbelly. Because it's not about simple fear or hatred. It's fear mixed with unholy desire.
