What are some good dystopian novels? - eviltoast

I’m nearly finished rereading 1984 and my appetite for dystopian books is whetted. What are some other great ones I should check out?

    Yeah if never been interested in Atlas Shrugged, after learning it’s very conservative leaning.

    Great suggestions!

      Yeah, the whole book boils down to “the hand of the market will solve errything!”. Except that Rand doesn’t know that the hand of the market has Parkinson’s.

        She also kills off every character she sees as weak through their generosity. The book just hits you so hard over the head with her philosophy rather than letting you think.
