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

      Fuck. How could I forget mentioning it? I love this book, and the political implications of the story - with powerful States being nuked into mutants, and the little NZ in the middle of nowhere, completely forgotten, is saved by its own lack of relevance. The whole idea of a story within another story, with non-human apes doing human activities (to drive the idea that we are behaving like the other apes too) was genial.

      Thanks for mentioning it!

        No problem. I’m glad you liked it as well. I definitely read it right after brave new world around high school age. I should really re-read it. It’s been a long time.
