what are your favorite dystopian novels?

Currently for a class we are discussing the idea of dystopia. which made me think what are my favorite dystopian novels.

the following. in no particular order.

1984

Brand New World

Feed

All Tomorrow Party

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

i am a new to this genre as well as sci-fiction in general.

lets have a great discussion..

p.s. sometimes a utopian world can be seen as a dystopian world.

I like reading scifi short stories more than entire novels. I just bought 5 collections!

Baroque, have you checked out J.G. Ballard? There are several of his I like in this category. Super-Cannes is my favorite.

Walden I and not to forget Walden II

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.
